Carlisle United: David Symington out for season with knee injury

Carlisle midfielder David Symington is to have surgery on a knee injury sustained while on loan at Workington, and will miss the rest of the season.

United hoped to have the 21-year-old back in first-team contention after his spell with their non-league neighbours.

But Symington was forced off during his Reds debut last weekend, a 0-0 draw against Halesowen.

He has played 15 times for Carlisle this season, but last appeared in their home defeat by York on 28 December.
