Former Carlisle United man Brennan Dickenson has made a move to the National League.

The left-sided player, who left the Blues this summer, has joined Oldham Athletic.

Dickenson has signed a one-year deal at Boundary Park ahead of the new campaign.

The 30-year-old had trained with League Two club Mansfield Town during pre-season.

But now he joins David Unsworth's squad in the fifth tier.

Dickenson was released by Carlisle in May after his third season in Cumbria was wiped out by injury.

He missed the entire campaign with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury.

In his timeĀ at Brunton Park the former Colchester United and Exeter City man, who signed for the Blues under Chris Beech in the summer of 2020, made 55 appearances and scored three goals.

Dickenson was part of a double signing at Oldham on Thursday with the Latics also bringing in striker James Norwood from Barnsley.

They join a squad that includes former Blues players Hallam Hope and Magnus Norman, with other United connections at the club including academy manager Paul Murray and goalkeeping coach Steve Collis.

Oldham start their National League season with a trip to Southend United on Saturday.
