Three members of Gillingham's talented youth team have signed pro contracts with the club.
Cruz Beszant, Louie Dayal and Michael Luxton all made appearances for the club's senior side last season, and their performances, along with their displays in training alongside the established first-team pros, have seen the trio earn their first professional contracts in the game.
A playmaking forward or attacking midfielder, Beszant came off the bench to make his Gills debut in League Two action last August in Gillingham's 1-0 away win at Oldham Athletic, then scored his first senior goal in the Gills' outstanding 4-1 home win over Fulham Under-21s in the EFL Trophy.
