Gillingham have signed former Dagenham and Redbridge defender Will Wright.

The 24-year-old, who left the National League side at the end of this season, played almost 150 games for the club in a four-year spell, scoring seven times.

Gillingham have not disclosed the length of Wright's contract.

"He is a player that has potential to improve and he adds versatility to our backline; he is comfortable as a right-back or right sided centre-half," Neil Harris told the club website.

The Gills boss added: "He is adaptable to playing in a back three or in a back four and has the capability to grow as a centre-half over time," Harris added.

Gillingham finished 21st in League One this season, going down to the fourth tier on goal difference.
