Conor Masterson has signed for a new club, and it's seen him move up to League One in the process.
Masterson has signed a short-term contract with Reading FC to join the Royals squad until January after impressing boss Leam Richardson during a trial period during the summer.
Now "Masto" has put pen to paper on a deal that sees him become the club's sixth new signing of the summer.
Masterson was a cornerstone of Gillingham's defence over recent seasons following his arrival at the club, initially on loan, from Queens Park Rangers.
