Charlie Wyke has set his sights on playing for Carlisle United again as he battles back from a horrific injury.
Wyke has not played for Carlisle since October 2024 when he suffered a severe leg break in an injury that also dislocated his ankle and damaged ligaments.
A surgeon advised him to retire but the 32-year-old striker did not want to give up on his dream of returning to the pitch.
Now he has begun the long training programme towards a possible first-team return.
“Over the last few weeks, it’s just starting to get a bit better, so I’m back on the grass, which is great for me,” Wyke told BBC Radio Cumbria. “It’s nice to be outside.
“I’m at the point now, or I was a few weeks ago, where if I played one more game, that would be enough.
“There’s still a long way to go with the extent of the injury and how bad it was. But I’m a bit more positive than I was last week, so things are looking up.”
