Former Carlisle United striker Richie Bennett is back on the move.

The frontman is a free agent after leaving Barrow.

The south Cumbrian club confirmed that they have terminated the striker's contract by mutual agreement.

It follows a second spell with the League Two club.

Bennett, 32, rejoined Barrow last summer from Sutton United.

But he made just 14 appearances for the Bluebirds and ended the campaign on loan with Scunthorpe United as they were relegated from the National League.

"The club would like to place on record our thanks to Richie for all his efforts during both spells with the club, and we wish him the very best for the future," said Barrow in a statement.

Bennett was a £50,000 Carlisle signing from Barrow in the summer of 2017 under Keith Curle.

He made 73 appearances and scored 12 goals in two campaigns at Brunton Park.
