Carlisle United manager Greg Abbott has revealed that he has agreed a deal to sign the Blackburn Rovers defender Tony Kane.

The 21-year-old, who made nine appearances for the Cumbrians during a recent loan spell at Brunton Park, has been offered a two-year contract by Abbott.

The United boss said: "We've had talks with Tony and there's a verbal agreement in place that he'll sign his contract.

"We expect him to do that once he's back from his holiday and we think that he's a good young player who's already shown us that he's prepared to work hard and learn.

"As with the other offers that were made, the player has time now to enjoy his break before he comes back to us with his decision."
