Gillingham Official Site - Seven Heaven For The Gills
Gills manager Mark Stimson has beaten the loan transfer window by minutes to secure three new additions to the squad, taking the tally to seven since he began his charge.
Earlier this month he made strikers Dennis Oli and Leroy Griffiths his first new signings. Oli has joined on loan from Grays Athletic, ahead of a permanent move in January for an undisclosed fee whilst Griffiths joins us from Lewes.
Grays midfielder Stuart Thurgood has joined on an emergency one-month loan. The deal for the 26-year-old will become permanent when the transfer window opens in January.
With only minutes remaining, the signings of full-back John Nutter and midfielder Adam Miller from Stevenage were completed. Again both are initially loan moves but they will become permanent deals in January.
Full back John Nutter was delighted after signing on the dotted line:
"It is difficult to put into words how it feels. I have worked hard in non-league over the past four to five years and to finally get my chance is a fantastic feeling. I am now looking forward to getting on the pitch and showing the gaffer and the fans what I can do"
While midfielder Adam Miller is confident that he can make the step up to League football: " I have nothing to prove because I am confident in my own ability. What I am focusing on at the moment is pulling on my Gillingham shirt and getting out on the pitch."
Central defender Adam Bygrave has joined for an initial month's loan from Reading and striker Shabazz Baidoo has joined on loan from QPR
The Gills boss had this to say:
"I am glad to have this sorted because they are both quality players. I worked with them at Stevenage and I know that they will come in and prove their worth here at Gillingham Football Club" Gillingham
