Harte, 31, made three appearances for the Cumbrians before breaking his hand after joining the club on a short-term basis towards the end of the recently completed season. However, the former Leeds United full-back has impressed enough and is set to sign a two-year deal with the Cumbrians.
"If we can secure this signing, it will be a clear indicator that the club has strong ambitions to move onward and upwards through this league," Carlisle's Managing Director John Dixon told the club's official website.
"In his short time at the club, Ian has demonstrated a very focused, professional and competitive approach which will add to the ethos of our squad."
