Carlisle have signed veteran defender Clint Hill on a free transfer.

The 38-year-old has signed a short-term contract with the Sky Bet League Two club, although the length of that deal has not been disclosed.

Hill, who has made over 600 appearances during his career, had been without a club since leaving Scottish Premiership side Rangers in July.

"I know Clint very well and I'm pleased that we've been able to bring him into our club," manager Keith Curle told the club's website.

"He is professional, thorough and diligent in everything he does and he'll enjoy being part of the group we've put together here.
