KEITH Curle will leave Carlisle at the end of the season, Swindon Town's League Two rivals have announced.

Curle joined the Cumbrians in 2014 and led them to the play-offs last season, but they are unable to finish in the top seven this term with two games remaining.

A club statement read: "Following a meeting with club directors yesterday (Wednesday) Keith Curle has decided to move on and further his career elsewhere, and will therefore leave the club at the end of the current season.

"He will manage the last two games and will assist the club with its retained list for the 2018-19 season.

"The directors and staff would like to thank Keith for his contribution over the last three-and-three-quarter years and wish him well for the future."
