Manchester City goalkeeper prediction made as Bolton midfielder talks Carlisle return

Kyle Dempsey admits it will be 'special' to return to former club Carlisle United with Bolton Wanderers tomorrow and has tipped Whites team mate James Trafford to have a 'really bright future' in the game.

The 26-year-old came through the youth team ranks at Brunton Park, making his debut for the club in January 2014. He scored 11 goals in 51 games in the next season-and-a-half at the Cumbrians.

Since then, he has spent time at the likes of Huddersfield Town, Fleetwood Town, Peterborough United, Gillingham and has been at Wanderers since the end of the January transfer window. He made a deadline day move from the Gills as a deal got over the line.

Dempsey heads back to his former stomping ground tomorrow with Wanderers, whom he had a limited impact for in the second half of last season owing to injuries. After getting a full-preason under his belt, he feels a completely different player and is aiming to properly kick on with the Whites this season.

The midfielder will take on his old club and admits it will be strange to play in a different team's kit at Brunton Park. But he believes it will be a 'special' return for him and will be aiming to for victory over his former employers.

Speaking to the News & Star, Dempsey said: “It will be special to come back, even if it will feel a bit strange, being there in a different kit and team.

“But the Carlisle fans know what I’m like. You know what I’m like. I never treat games as a friendly. Even though it’s a team close to my heart I’ll still be giving 110 per cent to try and win.

“I’ve come back for pre-season like a totally different player. I feel strong again. Sharp.
