Price needs a Boost says Abbot

Carlisle United manager Greg Abbot appears to think that Jason Price finds it difficult to keep fit.

Price joined Hereford United on loan from Carlisle last week and doesn't expect to return to Brunton Park. He has only made sub appearances this season to date.

"At the start of the season we had Gary Madine at 20 firing on all cylinders, and Jason at 33 struggling to get on the training ground day-in, day-out," Abbott told the News and Star.

"It was a big problem for him. He is coming to the end and Gary was blossoming and developing quicker than we expected.

"We knew Jason would be a bit-part player. He is sort of fit to play, then rest, then play, but at the level we are going at, he would find it hard work.

"It makes sense for him to go that at Hereford and give himself a boost between now and the end of the season."
