Carlisle United boss Greg Abbott today eased the Blues' striker problems by swooping for Millwall frontman Jason Price.

The experienced striker, 32, has joined United on loan until the end of the season.

Former Swansea, Tranmere and Doncaster favourite Price will join up with Abbott's squad for training on Friday and is likely to make his debut against Colchester at Brunton Park on Saturday.

United have been left short of senior frontmen with Scott Dobie, Darryl Duffy and Joe Anyinsah all recently suffering groin injuries.

The 6ft 2in Price, known for his distinctive afro hairstyle, recently returned to Millwall after a loan spell with Oldham.

He scored once in eight games for the Latics after making 20 appearances for the Lions this term following his permanent switch to The Den from Doncaster last summer.

He did not feature for Kenny Jackett's side in their 3-1 win at Carlisle last night.
