Former Leeds United striker Michael Bridges the leading fancy for Carlisle United job
FORMER Leeds United striker Michael Bridges has emerged as a strong front-runner to take the vacant managerial job at Carlisle United.
Bridges, who had three spells for Carlisle as a player, has been backed into odds of 1-4 with SkyBet to take on his first managerial role with the Cumbrians who sacked Steven Pressley last week with the club 19th in League Two.
Former Whites striker Bridges currently lives in Australia where he finished his career before taking his coaching badges.
