Gillingham technical director Richard Dobson says the club are looking for six more additions to their squad before the end of the transfer window.
As of 27 Jun 2026, Gillingham stands 17th in England League Two, with 53 points from 46 games, having scored 53 goals and conceded 72. Their recent form has been 2W-0D-3L.
What's the plan?
Dobson told BBC Radio Kent that the club is putting out feelers and speaking to clubs about potential loan deals.
Why loan deals?
Some of the best players in League Two have been loanees from higher-tier clubs, so Gillingham would be wise to explore this option.
What's the current state of the squad?
Gillingham has already made three new signings, including James Brophy from Cambridge United, Zane Albarus from Brighton & Hove Albion, and Will Goodwin from Oxford United. However, Dobson wants to add more depth to the squad.

Gillingham's retained list, issued in May, named a core squad of 19 contracted players for the 2026-27 season, with three academy graduates offered professional deals. The club needs to rebuild after releasing 14 players and having Sam Vokes retire. Dobson emphasized the importance of signing players who want to be part of the project, rather than just joining for financial reasons. With the transfer window still open, Gillingham fans can expect more updates on the club's signings in the coming weeks.
