Carlisle look to make Bridges move permanent

Michael Bridges will hold talks with Carlisle United manager Greg Abbott this week over making his loan move a permanent one.

The Hull striker has spent the past season on loan at League 1 Carlisle United who narrowly avoided relegation to League Two by one point. Bridges, who made 34 appearances was a vital part of their surviving team, scoring five goals towards the end of the season to secure Carlisle`s League 1 status.

With the player highly unlikely to play for Hull again, Bridges` future certainly lies away from the KC Stadium. Should Carlisle United negotiate terms with the player and Hull City, Bridges` could become the first player to leave the club this summer.
