Mbo agrees contract extension

Gills retain the services of striker Noel Mbo.

Noel Mbo has signed a new one-year contract which will keep him at Priestfield Stadium until the summer of 2019.

The 19-year-old forward, who scored his first professional goal in Gills 7-5 win over Reading in the Checkatrade Trophy last November, agreed terms on Thursday with the club taking up the option to keep him for a second year.

 

 

Mbo enjoyed a loan spell at Kingstonian last season, scoring four goals in 15 appearances before returning to Kent as Greg Cundle moved in the opposite direction.

Manager Steve Lovell added: ā€œIā€™m pleased to keep Noel on board for the new season. He made good progress during the 2017/18 campaign and I have no doubt he will kick on in the next 12 months.ā€
