Carlisle United can confirm that striker Ryan Edmondson has today left the club by mutual consent as he heads over to Australia to take up a new challenge.
Edmondson, 22, made 52 appearances for the Blues after joining in June 2022, scoring seven goals.
Manager Paul Simpson said: "This is something that has been going on for a while but I only found out about it when it was quite far down the line.
"I heard that Ryan had ended the lease on his apartment in Carlisle and moved out which surprised me a little bit.
"After speaking to him, this opportunity has come for him to go over to Australia and he wants to do it. The fact that he's moved out of his apartment tells me his head is already there.
"I'm led to believe he's going to Central Coast Mariners and he's working with a coach who he knows from his time at Leeds.
"I want players who are absolutely committed to helping us get out of the situation we're in.
"Ryan has been a decent servant for the club although it probably hasn't worked out how we all would have wanted it to.
"He's made the decision that he wants the next stage of his career to be in Australia so we've agreed to let him go. We wish him all the best and thank him for what he's done for us."
