Gills keeper returns for the run-in

Tonbridge Angels manager Steve McKimm has brought Gillingham's teenager keeper Tom Hadler back to the Ryman Premier until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old England Schoolboy international, pictured, spent time at the Longmead Stadium earlier in the season when first choice keeper Kyle Merson was out injured.

After Merson opted to hang up his gloves, McKimm moved to bring him back from the League One outfit on a two month loan before playing him in Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Witham Town.

Hadler most recently featured for Gills in the 0-0 draw with Brighton in the Final Third Development League Cup and also came on as a sub during their 1-0 win over Cardiff in the Premier League U21 Cup in October.

Gills defender Dan Bent is also enjoying a work experience loan at Ryman South Herne Bay.

After teaming up again with former Gills favourite Danny Spiller at Winch's Field, the 19-year-old full back scored with only his second touch in their 2-0 victory over Ramsgate last week.
