It comes less than three weeks after he made a surprise return to Wigan in the league above.

Wigan announced Jones’ return on a short-term contract earlier this month following his initial exit at the end of last season.

Jones had signed for the Latics in 2021 before loan spells at St. Mirren and Kilmarnock.

He scored three goals in 26 League One appearances last term before his deal expired.

The 29-year-old also played the club’s first three matches of the season in the league and Carabao Cup.

However, his second exit of the summer was confirmed by mutual consent last week.

Carlisle have now pounced to bring the Northern Ireland international to Brunton Park.

The Blues are currently 19th in the fourth tier after one win from their first three matches.

He has since had permanent spells with Kilmarnock and Rangers along with his stint at Wigan.
