Carlisle United Football Club

Carlisle initially signed midfielder Stefan Scougall on a short-term deal during the January 2019 transfer window.

He agreed a new one-year deal in June 2019 which keeps him at Brunton Park until the end of the current campaign.

Scougall played under Carlisle boss Steven Pressley at Fleetwood between March and June 2016, helping the club to retain their League One status, as he made nine important appearances for the Highbury outfit, bagging a goal in a 1-1 draw with Oldham along the way.

The all-action midfielder started his career as a youngster with Hibs and Dunfermline before being snapped up by Livingston, joining the West Lothian club full-time in 2010.

He was part of the Livi team that sealed the Scottish Second Division title during his first season with the club, and became a regular at Almondvale the following year. Scougall's continued good performances for Livingston saw him attract the attention of scouts from south of the border and, in January 2014, he joined Sheffield United on a three-and-a-half-year-deal for an undisclosed fee.

Managerial changes and new signings limited his playing time and, after his loan-spell with Fleetwood Town, he moved to join St Johnstone during the summer of 2017.

He made 27 first-team appearances in his debut season with Saints but was given the nod to look for another opportunity, which led to him sealing his move south to join the Blues.
