Rohan Luthra: New loan goalkeeper arrives to bolster Gillingham's options between the sticks

Gillingham have bolstered their goalkeeping options with the loan signing of Rohan Luthra.
The 24-year-old stopper has joined the club from Eastbourne Borough on a short-term loan deal until January, with the former Cardiff City and Derby County keeper providing another backup option for manager Gareth Ainsworth.
Ollie Wright continues as the team's first-choice keeper, but with backup signing Lennon MacLorg still ruled out through injury, and with Tait Holtam perhaps not looking ready for League Two level football just yet, the move makes sense, and offers some more experienced cover for Wright until MacLorg is back to full fitness again.
The keeper, who takes squad number 40, stands six feet four inches tall and has represented a host of clubs already during his career, and goes straight into Gillingham's matchday squad for today's game at York City.
