Young Bournemouth midfielder Dominic Sadi has tonight become Carlisle United's tenth summer signing.

The 20-year-old has joined on a season-long loan, following Cherries team-mate Daniel Adu-Adjei to Brunton Park.

United boss Paul Simpson has long been searching for an attacking midfield option in the transfer market.

And he is delighted to have made Sadi his second loan signing of the summer so far, the young player having made four first-team appearances for his Premier League parent club, where he recently signed a new long-term deal.

Sadi has joined the Blues squad ahead of Saturday's trip to MK Dons in League Two.

Manager Simpson, speaking to the club website, said: "I'm really pleased to have Dom here.

"I think he's a really exciting young footballer and his record in the development teams with Bournemouth is excellent. 

"He's somebody who can get goals and he's a creative player, so I'm hoping for goals and assists from him. 

"He's jumped at the opportunity to come and have this chance to play first team football and I'm looking forward to seeing him working. 

"He's a good friend of Dan [Adu-Adjei] and I asked him about him when we were thinking about signing him. He gave him a glowing reference and from what we've seen of him, we think he'll add something different to the group. 

"It's a challenge for him because it's his first loan out, but Bournemouth think really highly of him, and once he settles in I'm sure he'll be a really good addition to the squad." 

London-born Sadi started with West Ham United's academy, has been on Bournemouth's books for the last two years and has progressed in their development squad.

He has also played for non-league side Wingate & Finchley prior to his move to Bournemouth.

Sadi made his Premier League debut for the Dorset outfit in April, coming off the bench during a 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

His senior debut came in the Carabao Cup against Norwich City in August 2022, with his other two Cherries outings also coming in that competition and the FA Cup.
