Lewis Alessandra Joins Carlisle United on a Deal Until the End of the Season<\/h2>\n

Career So Far<\/h3>\n

Alessandra began his career with Oldham Athletic. He spent four seasons with the then League One club<\/a>, scoring seven times in 67 appearances.<\/p>\n

He then dropped down a division to join Morecambe. During a two-year spell, he registered seven goals.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old had spells with Plymouth Argyle, York City, Rochdale and Hartlepool United before joining Notts County.<\/p>\n

During his two-year spell at Meadow Lane, he became a fans’ favourite, scoring seven goals and registering five assists in his first season with the club.<\/p>\n

Following County’s relegation, Alessandra re-joined Morecambe last summer. He scored five times in 22 appearances in League Two, before making the move to Carlisle United.<\/p>\n

Vital Attacking Experience<\/h3>\n

Carlisle United manager Chris Beech spoke to the official Carlisle United website<\/a> about his new signing. He said: “He\u2019s an experienced player who was available, and it\u2019s not a loan, which is excellent.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a permanent signing and he\u2019s got a lot to prove in terms of what he can offer us, so we\u2019ve put him on a contract that represents that. I know him from the past and he\u2019s a very professional person.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an excellent finisher, he\u2019s bright and he\u2019s been a big part of the first half of the season with goals and assists at his previous club, and he\u2019s actually very good at starting goals, which isn\u2019t often logged. That\u2019s because assists are taken as the last pass before a goal, but he\u2019s often had a hand in, or been the creator of, many goals his teams score.<\/p>\n

“\u201cI\u2019m just really happy and pleased that he\u2019s here.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brings a wealth of experience, he\u2019s played at a lot of football clubs<\/a> and he\u2019s scored in different divisions.<\/p>\n
