Former Carlisle United goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis has made a League One switch.

The Australian gloveman has linked up with Stevenage on loan from Reading.

It is the latest move in the career of the experienced keeper who was on United's books in 2013/14 but never played a game.

He has joined Alex Revell's Stevenage squad until January, providing cover at a time Boro are without Taye Ashby-Hammond to a hand injury.

Sydney-born Bouzanis, 33, has been with Reading for the last two years having joined from Sutton United.

His previous clubs include Western Sydney Wanderers, Melbourne City and Dutch outfit FC Zwolle.

His time overseas followed a spell with Carlisle under Graham Kavanagh which saw the ex-Oldham Athletic and Liverpool man join the Blues but never play.

He joined the Cumbrians in January 2014 but did not figure in the side with United going on to bring in Jordan Pickford on loan for the remainder of their League One relegation season.

Regular No1 Mark Gillespie was sidelined at the time, with other keepers on the Cumbrians' books during that campaign including Greg Fleming and loanee Ben Amos.

Bouzanis is one of two ex-Blues on Reading's books, the other being Jokull Andresson, who was on loan at Brunton Park last season and who is now back in his native Iceland on loan with Afturelding.
