Kirkup added: “To get a call from Simmo, who may offer his services for the next few weeks of the pre -season and take sessions before starting his new job, was a child’s play.
“Simmo is a man that I respect so much and a legend of the city.
“In order for him to come and help me, skip [Boyd] And the team will only get us in good condition to start the season.
“In addition, I and Skip can learn from Simmo in a short time and hopefully come out of what he needs.

“It is a fantastic opportunity for the players to learn from an elite trainer who has done what he has in the game.”
Simpson has further connections to Carlisle City with his nephew Josh Simpson as captain of the club.
