Carlisle United defender Jack Armer looks set to achieve a 12-year feat when the Blues take on Sutton United tomorrow.

The 22-year-old is in line to become United’s first outfield ever-present in a league season since 2010/11.

And goalkeeper Tomas Holy is also poised to be the Blues' first ever-present goalkeeper for six years.

Both players will have started all 46 of Carlisle’s League Two fixtures if they are in the side at Gander Green Lane.

The last Blues player to start all 46 in a campaign was keeper Mark Gillespie in the 2016/17 season.

The most recent outfielders to achieve the landmark were James Berrett and Frank Simek in the 2010/11 League One campaign.

Both Holy and Armer are expected to be in Paul Simpson’s XI as Carlisle look to clinch their play-off place at Sutton.

The United boss has praised both players’ durability across the 2022/23 campaign ahead of the expected milestone.

“It’s absolutely brilliant,” he said of Armer and Holy’s record.

“It’s not a common thing now to go through a full 46 league games being involved in it.

“It’s a tremendous achievement if they are both selected. You’d probably look at it and think they are going to be in because they’ve done the job so far - they’ve shown the level of consistency."

Keeper Holy looks set to be the only Blues player to play every minute of the league campaign.

“I thought Tomas had a dodgy patch but he’s come through it now," added Simpson.

"Jack’s had a little quiet period but over the season he’s been very consistent – a real pleasant surprise, I’ve got to say, because I wasn’t massively sure after last season, but I think he’s done really well and he’s deserved to stay in the side.

“Credit to them that they’ve been able to stay fit because it seems as though every single player we’ve had in this squad has picked up something over the season for one reason and another.

“Maybe it’s luck, maybe good judgement on their part, but a massive achievement to get 46 league games in a season.”
