Carlisle United have signed goalkeeper Archie Mair on a permanent deal. Mair, 25, joined the Cumbrians on loan from Morecambe in January but made just one National League appearance, against Brackley in April. He recently left Morecambe at the end of his contract and has signed for Carlisle on a one-year deal with the option of an additional year. The Scot began his career at Aberdeen and later had a spell at Norwich City, although he did not make a first-team appearance for either club. He previously played under Carlisle boss Rob Elliot during a spell on loan at Gateshead. Mair has also spent time on loan at Lincoln, Notts County and Motherwell. Carlisle's new signing is looking forward to kicking on and hopes the fans will see more of him going forward. Elliot said he has worked with Mair before at Gateshead and knows what he can bring to the team. Mair is a goalkeeper with good presence, confidence, and the ability to play with the ball at his feet. The deal is a boost to Carlisle's squad ahead of the new season. Mair's experience will be valuable in the National League. He is confident in himself and enjoys being in possession. The fans will be eager to see him in action. Carlisle United are preparing for the upcoming season with a strong squad.
