A former Carlisle United coach is set to make the step up to League One.

Goalkeeping coach Dan Watson is reportedly joining newly-promoted Cheltenham Town.

It will see Watson leave a similar position at United's League Two rivals Northampton, who were relegated to the fourth tier last season.

Watson spent a year at Brunton Park under managers Keith Curle and John Sheridan before moving to Sixfields to rejoin Curle in 2018.

He looks set to replace long-serving Steve Book at Cheltenham.

Northampton said Watson was leaving "to pursue an opportunity elsewhere", with the Cobblers appointing James Alger in his place.

Gloucestershire Live report that Watson has already been appointed at Cheltenham and will be full-time keeper coach at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium, replacing Book who worked four days a week with the League Two champions.
