Every transfer has a story to tell, but few have the sort of feel-good factor of Gillingham FC’s latest signing, Lennon MacLorg.
The young goalkeeper, who departed Charlton Athletic to join the Gills, has been a Gillingham supporter since he was a young boy, and has been a regular fan at Priestfield, along with his family. Now he is officially a member of the first-team squad at Priestfield.
MacLorg, who started out playing youth football for Thamesview before transitioning to the senior game as a teenager with Holland & Blair, joined Rochdale’s Under-18s setup before moving south to Charlton in the summer of 2024.
