Carlisle United have secured August signing number eleven as attack-minded player Gime Touré joins the club on a one-year deal [with an option].

Touré, 26, a strong and mobile attacker, began his career back in his home country of France where an eye-catching 2013/14 season for ES Viry-Chatillon earned him a trial with West Brom.

He also played for La Roche, Brest B and Fontenay LCVF in Championnat National 2, Group D in his native country.

The lively front man returned to England in 2017 when he spent pre-season with Wrexham before going on to win a deal at eventual Conference champions Macclesfield Town.

He was with AFC Fylde for the first half of the 2018/19 season before ending the campaign at Sutton, playing 41 games and hitting the net seven times.

Last season saw him enjoy a hugely successful stay with Hartlepool, where he scored 13 goals in just 39 appearances.
