Carlisle United manager Mike Williamson has expressed his desire to keep Kadeem Harris at the club beyond his current deal, which expires in January.
Harris, a former Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff City player, has featured in three games for Carlisle, showcasing his attacking abilities and versatility. His performances have sparked calls for the club to secure his services for the rest of the season, a sentiment echoed by Williamson.
“The impact he’s made has been brilliant, and I still think there’s more to come, so that’s exciting,” Williamson said. “He is somebody who we want at the football club, there ain’t no bones about that.”
The United boss, however, emphasised that the immediate priority is the team’s upcoming fixture against Doncaster Rovers. Third-placed Donny present a tough challenge, and Williamson stressed the importance of maintaining focus on preparations for the game.
Strong Start for Harris
Harris has quickly become a key figure for Carlisle, contributing in both league and cup competitions. After an impressive showing in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy match against Morecambe, he earned his first league start in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bromley.
The experienced midfielder, who has also played in Turkey, brings a wealth of experience to the squad. Fans and pundits alike have praised his ability to drive forward and create opportunities, making him a valuable asset to the team as they look to climb the League Two table.
Williamson’s Focus
While Harris’s future remains a key topic of discussion, Williamson has made it clear that the team’s focus is on maintaining momentum and managing injuries.
“Our focus is on ensuring that our training is detailed, we’re making sure there’s no risk of any further injuries, and we just keep building on that solid base that we’ve had in the last couple of weeks,” he added.
Carlisle’s match against Doncaster Rovers this weekend represents a significant test, but with Harris in form and the team finding their rhythm, the Blues will be hoping for a strong performance.
