The former Charlton Athletic midfield man joined the Gills in January of 2023 after leaving Mansfield Town. The 26-year-old was later joined by former Stags teammate, Oli Hawkins, as the Galinsons did their best to help the squad retain EFL status.

Lapslie came through the youth ranks at The Valley and made his pro debut in an EFL Trophy tie away at Crawley in August 2017, scoring in a 2-0 win.

A loan spell at Chelmsford in 2018 was followed by a spell at Mansfield two years later, and it was this move that was made permanent in the summer of 2021 with Lapslie signing  two-year deal at the One Call Stadium.

His first Gills goal came in a 2-1 win over Grimsby at {Priestfield in February 2023.
