Gillingham has signed Bradley Dack on a free transfer, seven years after he left the club. The 30-year-old midfielder spent last season at Sunderland, scoring one goal in 17 appearances.

What happened?

Dack spent five years at Gillingham from 2012 to 2017, making 185 appearances and scoring 38 goals. He then moved to Blackburn Rovers, where he spent six successful years, finishing as the club's top scorer in his first season.

Why it matters for Gillingham

Gillingham boss Mark Bonner said, "There's a romance about the signing, because he's coming home." Dack's return is a significant boost to the team, which began the League Two season with a 4-1 home win against Carlisle United.
