Former Carlisle United striker Manasse Mampala has a new club in non-league.
The ex-Blues forward has linked up with Northern Premier League Premier Division side Hyde United.
Mampala, 22, made his debut in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup third qualifying round victory over Darlington.
The move sees the former Everton striker drop to non-league's third tier in search of first-team football.
Mampala played the first hour on Saturday as a goal from Jack Redshaw took Nick Spooner's Hyde through.

The frontman was on United's books last season having earned a deal following a trial under Chris Beech in the summer.
He went on to make 15 appearances and scored one goal, against Everton's Under-21s in the Papa John's Trophy.
Mampala spent the second half of the season on loan with National League side Weymouth before being released in the summer.
Hyde sit third in Northern Premier League Premier Division after ten games.
