"I'm looking forward to it and it's going to be a real test because it's a Football League club and that's something new to me," Kayode told  www.themillers.co.uk.

"Being at Gateshead has allowed me to realise what three points mean, but the stakes are even higher this time.

"Getting into the league was the next objective for me and I'm delighted that is happening. I'm fuil of confidence right now and I'm going to try my best for the team."

The Lagos-born forward will join fellow Nigerians Kelvin Etuhu and Olufela Olomola at Carlisle United who are 21st in the standings in the English fourth tier.
