Carlisle United manager Neil McDonald has moved quickly to replace the injured Karl Hawley by snapping up the Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford on a month's loan.

The 22-year-old has made one start and been introduced from the substitute's bench seven times since moving to Elland Road from Wealdstone.

"We had Jermaine at Crystal Palace for a couple of weeks when I was there, so I know what he's about and look forward to working with him here at Carlisle," McDonald told the club's official website.

Hawley is facing at least a month on the sidelines after breaking a rib in last weekend's 5-1 defeat at Crewe Alexandra.
