What’s the secret to getting the best out of Ronan Hale? The man himself has the answer

Hale was signed from Ross County for a sizeable fee during the January transfer window, and it didn’t take long for fans to see that the club had finally managed to bring a natural goalscorer to Priestfield. However, it quickly became apparent that, while the team had a legitimate finisher up front, the major unsolved problem was the lack of service being provided to the team’s front men.

It meant that Hale spent much of the second half of the season chasing lost causes, feeding off scraps, and finding himself largely underfed and isolated. But with the mass changes that appear to be heading Gillingham’s way in the summer, Hale chose to be positive when chatting to the press ahead of the final game of the season against Shrewsbury Town.
