MARK HUGHES EXTENDS STAY AT BRUNTON PARK

.

Carlisle United Football Club are delighted to announce that Mark Hughes will remain at Brunton Park.

Hughes joined the Blues in early February and quickly built a strong relationship with the club's supporters.

During this period, he united the squad behind-the-scenes and reinvigorated the team as it battled in the final games.

The Cumbrians suffered only one home defeat at Brunton Park under Hughes and also secured three consecutive victories for the first time in over two years.

Speaking after extending his stay, Mark said: "I'm thrilled to be staying at the club.

"Since joining back in February, the support I've received from the fans has been exceptional - thank you.

"I hope to see more of the same next season as we aim for an immediate return to the EFL."

Chairman, Tom Piatak added: “We’re pleased to confirm the extension of Mark Hughes as Head Coach of Carlisle United.

"Mark brought the squad together during the closing stretch of the season and gave us a fighting chance. His leadership, composure, and connection with the players was clear, and we’re confident in his ability to lead us forward.”

Further reaction from United's Head Coach will be made available in the coming days.
