Dack signs new one-year deal with Gillingham

Bradley Dack has scored one goal since returning to Gillingham last summer

Former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Bradley Dack has signed a one-year contract extension with Gillingham.

The 31-year-old returned to Gills for his second spell last summer and has scored one goal in 20 appearances, after missing October and November with injury.

Gillingham finished a season heavily affected by managerial changes 17th in League Two.

Mark Bonner began the 2024-25 season in charge but was sacked in January on the back of three straight defeats.

Long-time Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman came in as Bonner's replacement on a deal until the end of the season but he was dismissed less than three months later after just two wins in 14 matches, with Gareth Ainsworth taking over.

Dack began his career with the Kent-based club, where he established himself as an attacking midfielder with an eye for goal as he scored 38 goals in 185 games, before moving to Blackburn in 2017.

He spent six years at Ewood Park, scoring 18 goals in his first season as Rovers secured promotion to the Championship.

Dack would go on to play 173 times for the club, scoring 57 times.

A move to Sunderland followed in 2023 but he managed only one goal in 17 appearances for the Black Cats, before returning to Priestfield Stadium last summer.
