Gillingham sign midfielder Zane Albarus on a two-year deal from Brighton & Hove Albion

Gillingham boss Gareth Ainsworth has made his second signing of the summer.

The Gills have completed a deal with midfielder Zane Albarus, who joins from Premier League Brighton on a two-year deal.

The 20-year-old will officially become a Gillingham player at the start of next month.

“I am so excited to join and be on board for next season,” said Albarus, who can also play at right-back.

“This will be my first opportunity in a senior team and (to) play EFL Football. I can't wait.

“I put 110% into everything I do. I am raring to go.”

Albarus joined Brighton from MK Dons as an under-16 player and featured four times in the EFL Trophy for Brighton’s under-21 side this season.

Gills have already announced the signing of promotion-winner James Brophy, also on a two-year deal, from Cambridge United.
