    "A big, tall and athletic midfielder who has real quality on the ball, Joe also has a real edge," Sutton boss Chris Agutter told the club's website.

    "He's a proper competitor which will fit perfectly into our group."

    Harvey Macadam scored seven goals last season for Carlisle

    There have been some weird and wonderful ways for footballers to get injured over the years and now Carlisle United's Harvey Macadam can join the list.

    The midfielder was back in his first training session, recovering from a thigh injury that delayed his start to the new season.

    In chasing to keep a ball in play, the 25-year-old went to backheel it back onto the pitch and ended up suffering a hamstring injury.

    "He's done quite a bit of damage, so he's going to be quite a few weeks," Carlisle head coach Rob Elliot told BBC Radio Cumbria.

    "Harvey's a big, strong lad, he's quite robust so we'll see what the timeline is but it's not going to be in the near future."

    Carlisle have a busy September with six matches, and Macadam is now likely to miss all of them.
