I believe that Jayden, would be a fantastic addition for Gillingham and would massively help them in their survival bid. I think due to the lack of goals in the Gillingham team he could help add to this. Not only this he brings a lot else to the table with his hold up play and ability to allow others to play off him. He’s also a well known name in lower league football so should get the fans excited.
Gillingham are also in the market to add more recruits into their side this window, having added Tom Nichols from fellow relegation candidates Crawley.
