Gillingham sign Aiden O'Brien and Tristan Abrahams on loan

Tristan Abrahams helped Grimsby Town win promotion from the National League during a loan spell with the Mariners last season

League Two strugglers Gillingham have signed loan strikers Aiden O'Brien from Shrewsbury and Tristan Abrahams from Eastleigh until the end of the season.

O'Brien has not made a league start for Shrewsbury since signing on a free transfer from Portsmouth last summer.

The 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international previously played under Gills boss Neil Harris at Millwall.

Abrahams, 24, has scored four goals in 27 National League outings since moving from Carlisle United last summer.

After being signed from Sunderland on deadline day a year ago, O'Brien scored five goals in 17 appearances, but then turned down a new contract offer from Pompey to join Shrewsbury on a two-year deal.

Shrewsbury did not make any deadline day signings, but lost a second player, Julien Dacosta, who was recalled by parent club Coventry City before being sent back out on loan to French third tier side Nancy.
