Young Midfielder Craig Stone featured 6 times for the club this season but was unable to command a regular place in the side, finishing the season on loan at Brentford.  Kevin Maher joined the Gills on loan from Southend in March making 7 first team starts, he returns to Roots Hall to join Southends squad in their play off push.

Midfielder Barry Cogan arrived at the club last summer and netted once in 21 league and cup appearances, more recently he has had a spell on loan at Grays Athletic.  Ivory Coast Striker Georges Ba was a recent arrival at Gillingham signing in late March he made just 4 appearances.

Trinidad & Tobago International Goalkeeper Kelvin Jack signed for the Gills prior to the 2006-07 season however persistant injuries have limited him to just 11 first team starts.

Stimson also revealed that experienced defender Danny Cullip is continuing contract negotiations and that he hopes to have something confirmed in the next few days. 

Striker Garry Mulligan has been offered a new contract and young strikers Luis Cumbers and Andy Pugh have agreed new deals.  The Gills boss said, "Luis and Andy are two up and coming strikers who look very promising for the future."

Cumbers finished the season on loan to AFC Wimbledon and scored the first goal in the 2-1 play off final win over Staines Town helping to secure their promotion to Blue Square South.
