Gillingham have signed former Blackburn Rovers defender Lenni Cirino on a short-term deal.

The League Two side have not disclosed the length of the contract.

The left-back has featured for the Gills in pre-season and is available for their season opener away to Accrington Stanley on Saturday.

Cirino, 22, came through the academy at Ewood Park but was released in the summer of 2024. He joined Premier Northern League side Clitheroe last September.

He has made four appearances for the Montserrat national team, making his international debut in June 2024 in a World Cup qualifier.
