Gillingham's summer transfer activity continued with the unveiling of the club's second loan signing of the off-season.

Millwall winger Sheldon Kendall has agreed a season-long loan move and will join the Gills squad for the 2026/27 campaign, with the 18-year-old set to offer another pacy option in attack this season.

Kendall can operate on either flank, or through the middle, and is able to play as a central striker, a wide midfielder, or as an out-and-out winger

That flexibility, coupled with his searing pace, would make the teenager an interesting impact sub option for Gillingham boss Gareth Ainsworth as he looks to adopt a high-energy, high-pressing, counter-attacking side for 2026/27.
