Former Carlisle United favourite Scott Dobie has made a surprise return to football and joined League Two side York City.

The Cumbrian forward was understood to have quit the game after being without a club for over a year.

But Dobie will today be unveiled as one of three new signings by the Minstermen.

The 33-year-old, who started his career with United and later returned for a second spell, has not played professionally since leaving Bradford at the end of the 2010/11 season.

He has signed for York along with defender Clarke Carlisle and young Leeds left-back Charlie Taylor.

York boss Gary Mills said: “It has been hard work. I have had to bide my time but I feel I have made the right signings and I will be judged on that.”

Dobie was due to undergo a medical at Bootham Crescent this morning.
