Gall has indicated he would like to stay at Brunton Park

Transfer-listed Carlisle United striker Kevin Gall has been told he is free to approach other clubs.

Cumbrians manager John Ward revealed he has yet to receive an official approach for the 26-year-old who has found himself out of favour at Brunton Park.

"I've allowed Kevin to make those moves himself if he wishes," Ward told BBC Radio Cumbria. "He's got an agent and we've made teams know he's available."

Gall has scored 11 goals in 75 outings for Carlisle.

He joined the club in the summer of 2006 following spells at Newcastle United, Bristol Rovers and Yeovil Town, and had a seven-game loan spell at League Two side Darlington last season before an unsuccessful trial at Canadian side Toronto FC.

If I got the chance to prove I can play for Carlisle, that would be great Kevin Gall

"I don't want to leave Carlisle and I have never asked to leave," Gall said.

"If I got the chance to prove I can play for Carlisle, that would be great. I like challenges like that.

"The gaffer has told me I can go on a free and I have to look at my options. But he also said that if I go and talk to other people and it doesn't work out, I�m entitled to come back and fight for my place in the team."
