Veteran teammates are helping Andy Smith improve as he heads into second full season at Gillingham FC

Gillingham defender Andy Smith is grateful for the experience alongside him, and the positive approach of the man coaching him, as he gets set for his second full season as a Gills player.
Smith initially started out at the Gills as a loanee from Hull City, but last summer he made that move permanent when the two clubs agreed a deal to allow Smith to head south to become a Gill full-time.
Now, after joining the club during a difficult 2024/25 campaign, and enduring an equally frustrating season in 2025/26, Smith is determined to play his part to help the side to a more successful campaign in 2026/27.
