Doncaster Rovers striker Mark McCammon has turned down the offer of a 1 year extension to his contract at the Keepmoat Stadium for the security of a 3 year deal in League Two with Gillingham. The 29 year-old Barbados international has been on Stimson's wish list for the last 8 weeks and was cock-a-hoop after unveiling him at Priestfield today
With Gills manager Mark Stimson becoming frustrated in his attempts at bringing quality signings to Priestfield he is now looking to bolster the first team squad from trialists that come knocking on his door
Defender Efe Sodje, who made 15 appearances for the Gills last season, has agreed a deal to pay off the remainder of his contract and depart Priestfield. The 35-year-old Nigerian international finished last season with a successful loan spell at Bury where he impressed scoring once in 16 appearances.
Blues boss Alex McLeish has agreed to bring his first team squad down to Priestfield for a pre-season friendly on Saturday 26th July. Birmingham City will be hoping to bounce back to the Premiership at the first attempt after being cruelly relegated on the final day of the season.
Ah, what would the pre-match Gillingham experience be like without a chuckle/snort/doubletake/grunt at our chairmans programme notes?
