Seventh heaven for Gills kids

The Sky Bet League One side have offered one-year professional contracts to youngsters Greg Cundle, Mitchell Dickenson and Callum Emptage, while Michael Freiter and Tom Hadler have been handed one-year extensions.

Josh Hare and Aaron Millbank have each been offered six-month extensions, but a further six Gills players will not be kept on at the end of the campaign.

Dan Bent, Aidan Blanchard, Devante McKain, Mahlon Romeo, Josh Staunton and Charlie Webster will not be offered new terms when the season ends.

Manager Justin Edinburgh told the club's official website: "We would like to wish everyone the best of futures in their football careers, it is never an easy decision but we have to be fair to the players in their development.

"We thank them for their hard work and effort while they have been at the club.

"With the ones that have got a yes is always a pleasing factor because that's the good part of the job when telling people they've got a deal.

"For them it's the start of the hard work, it's well earned and I look forward to working with them."
