Gillingham have signed Bristol City forward Seb Palmer-Houlden for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old, who spent this season on loan at Scottish top-flight club Dundee, has signed a three-year contract.

Palmer-Houlden scored nine goals in 39 appearances for Dundee this season and has also had loan spells at Chippenham Town, Yeovil Town and Newport County.

"Seb is a player we have been looking at for a while now and there was a lot of competition for his signature," Gillingham manager Gareth Ainsworth told the club website.

"We managed to sort everything quickly and I am delighted to have him with us.

"He has a bright future in the game - he's quick, hardworking, and knows where the goal is. I think all Gills fans will enjoy watching him."
