Injury-plagued midfielder Paul Murray has admitted he may be forced to leave Carlisle United in the summer.

The 30-year-old has made just 14 appearances for the Cumbrians this season after being dogged by knee trouble.

Murray is out of contract at the end of the season and United boss Neil McDonald is unwilling to offer the former England 'B' international a new deal at the moment due to his injury problems.

"I've got to look after myself and if the club aren't going to offer me anything, I'm going to have to start looking," Murray told the News & Star.

"I've got to be pro-active, see what's happening and put a few feelers out.

"Of course people need to know I'm going to be fit, but I've got to sort myself out one way or another."

"There's no doubt in my mind that I want to stay here and play my football here. I want to be part of the club.

"But at the end of the day, I'm going to be out of contract and I can speak to whoever I want. It's up to the club to decide what they want to do."
