Carlisle United defender Ian Harte has returned to full training after a two-week lay-off caused by a broken bone in his hand.

The 31-year-old Irishman has been out since March's 1-1 draw with Northampton Town and boss Greg Abbott hopes to have him back before the end of the season.

"He has been on the edges of training recently to keep himself fit," Abbott told the club website.

"We'll see how full training goes and make a decision from there."

Club captain Paul Thirlwell has also made a return to training after aggravating a calf muscle.
