Garner, 19, joined for a club record fee of �140,000 from Blackburn just before the start of the season.

But in his first 11 appearances, he has scored four goals but collected five yellow cards - leaving him serving a one-match suspension this weekend.

"He's an aggressive player, but we want controlled aggression," Cumbrians boss Ward told the Carlisle News & Star.

"It's just about getting the balance right."
