Paul Hurst keeping a close eye on Shrewsbury Town loanee

But the former Doncaster man joined Carlisle on deadline day in a surprise move to get more playing time, and Hurst is keeping track of how he is getting on.

He said: “They are obviously struggling at the moment, I am pretty sure that will turn. They have had a change of manager, which will not have helped Harrison, but he has been playing. That is what he wanted to get from it.

“I think when we spoke he was hoping obviously to be at the other end of the table. As I have said, it has not quite happened yet.

“But with the new manager coming in I am sure he will be trying to get his ideas across as soon as possible and it would not surprise me at all if you do start to see them climb up. We do keep looking at his performances, and I am just glad he is playing.

“Like I said, that is something we will look at as we get nearer to January, but there is a lot of football still to be played whether it is regarding ourselves or him.”
