Gillingham have signed Elliott Nevitt, Armani Little, Jack Nolan, Aaron Rowe, Marcus Wyllie, Jacob Wakeling and Euan Williams but there could be more, hopes boss Mark Bonner

Gillingham manager Mark Bonner isn’t finished in the transfer-market yet.

The signing of Euan Williams on Wednesday was Gillingham’s seventh since the end of last season but Bonner believes they need more.

EFL clubs have until Friday, August 30 (11pm) to trade contracted players and the Gills still need more, says Bonner.

He said: “We have got a long way left in the window and there is still plenty of time to do that, let’s see.

“The window being open in the first month (of the season) means ‘see how you go, do you feel you need to add somewhere?’

“Obviously, if injuries occur in that first month while you have the opportunity to do something you can. Touch wood it doesn’t happen but the opportunity is there if it does.

“We still need to strengthen. If we want to be a top team we have to be a stronger squad, a stronger team.”

Gillingham still have a handful of players injured, including in the forward areas, which means Williams and former Enfield Town player Marcus Wyllie could get a chance to impress.

Wyllie has stepped up to full-time football for the first time while newcomer Williams will be pushing for first-team football, something he didn’t get at former club Charlton.

Bonner said: “The challenge is there for everyone, ‘earn your shirt and then keep it but contribute to winning teams first. Start games strong but if you’re not in it then help us finish strong.’ It is a great challenge for a squad of players.

“(There is) a lot of football to be played. I am sure we can add more over the next month and if something comes up that helps us be better then we’ll do that.”

The Gills signed four players shortly at the end of last season before moving into what they called “phase two” where’s it’s largely been one in-one
