Gradient Sports sign multi-year physical metrics deal with Carlisle United

Gradient Sports is proud to announce a new multi-year partnership with Carlisle United. The National League side will adopt Gradient’s FIFA-certified broadcast tracking, physical metrics, and off-ball metrics to enhance both recruitment and performance strategies.
As part of the agreement, Carlisle United will gain access to Gradient’s coverage across the EFL pyramid, the National League, and competitions in Scotland. This reach will give the club the depth and breadth of data needed to recruit intelligently in the transfer windows ahead.
Jacob Blain, Recruitment Analyst at Carlisle United, commented:
“We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Gradient Sports. We have conducted extensive tests of tracking data providers against our in house GPS data where we found the accuracy of Gradient best fitted to our requirements. We have been using the platform alongside the event data we have at our disposal as part of our recruitment process over the summer and we look forward to using Gradient as a key part of our recruitment decision making process moving forward.”
The partnership reinforces Carlisle United’s commitment to evidence-based decision making and further extends Gradient’s mission to provide clubs at every level of the game with world-class tracking and physical performance data.
