Carlisle United midfielder Alfie McCalmont is leaving the club to join Central Coast Mariners in Australia's A-League.
McCalmont initially signed for Carlisle in January 2023 on loan from Leeds United before agreeing a permanent move last summer.
The 24-year-old played 54 times for Paul Simpson's side. He scored four goals as the Cumbrians were promoted out of League Two via the play-offs at Wembley, but they were relegated at the first attempt.
"I asked everyone if they were 100% committed to taking this club back up the league, and Alfie said he wanted to leave," Simpson .
In Australia, McCalmont will link up with former MK Dons boss Mark Jackson, with whom he worked with the Leeds Under-23s squad.
