GAVIN HOYTE EXTENDS GILLS DEAL

Gavin Hoyte has put pen to paper on a new deal at MEMS Priestfield Stadium

Gavin Hoyte has extended his deal at Gillingham until May 19.

The right-back, formerly of Arsenal, put pen to paper earlier this afternoon with his initial contract expiring this Sunday following the weekend's League One fixture against Coventry City.

The 24-year-old signed for the club on August 19 having been without a club since being released by Dagenham & Redbridge in the summer of 2014, and has so far made 17 appearances without scoring.

Gavin is fit and available for Saturday's game against the Sky Blues.
