Halifax boss Neil Aspin in frame for Carlisle manager's job
Sky Sports understands Halifax boss Neil Aspin is in the frame for the vacant manager's job at Carlisle.
Carlisle are searching for a new boss following the sacking of Graham Kavanagh earlier this week after less than a year in charge at Brunton Park.
A number of names have been linked with the vacancy, but Aspin is thought to figure highly on the wanted list of the Sky Bet League 2 club's hierarchy.
Aspin is earning himself a reputation as one of the best managers outside the Football League after guiding Halifax to three promotions since taking charge in 2009.
The 49-year-old helped Halifax to fifth in their first season back in the Conference Premier last season with the smallest budget in the division on a part-time model.
Aspin has helped lead Halifax to joint-top of the Conference this term with the Shaymen winning five of their opening six games.
The former Port Vale and Darlington defender has shown he has a good eye for players, having scouted and sold the likes of Jamie Vardy and Lee Gregory to Championship clubs during his time in charge at the Shay.
