Carlisle United goalkeeper Gabriel Breeze joins Cambridge United on three-year deal
Carlisle United goalkeeper Gabriel Breeze has joined Cambridge United on a three-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee. The 22-year-old made 84 appearances for the Cumbrians in the past three campaigns.
Why it matters for Carlisle
The departure of Breeze is a significant blow to Carlisle United, who will need to find a replacement for their experienced goalkeeper. The club is currently 16th in the National League, with 0 points from 1 game, and a -1 goal difference.
What comes next?
Breeze is set to be in the squad for Cambridge United's League One opener against Wigan Athletic on Saturday. He will wear the number 13 shirt and will be part of a goalkeeping unit that already includes Jake Eastwood, Ben Hughes, and JJ Briggs.
Cambridge United head coach Neil Harris said: "We are delighted to welcome Gabriel to the football club. He's a player we've tracked for a while now - a very young goalkeeper who already possesses valuable experience, not only in the National League last year, but also in League Two the season before."
Breeze himself said: "When I spoke to the gaffer and everyone at the club, they sold it in a really good way. Cambridge United is going in the right direction and has a lot of ambition. It's the perfect move for me."
