Carlisle United have signed Derby County midfielder Paul Thirlwell for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old spent a successful three-month loan spell at Brunton Park earlier this season before returning to the Championship club in December.

The former Sunderland and Sheffield United midfielder moved to Pride Park in August but has made only a handful of appearances.

The Newcastle-born schemer made 17 appearances for the Cumbrians during his initial loan spell.
