Gillingham striker Ashley Miller
has made an instant impact at Hythe Town after arriving on a
month’s loan from Priestfield.
The 18-year-old (pictured playing for Gills at Plymouth) made
his Town debut at Sittingbourne last weekend and scored twice in
Tuesday’s 3-1 win against Corinthian Casuals.
Hythe manager Scott Porter last
week promised to shake up his under-performing squad and he
believes the arrival of Miller at Reachfields is hugely
significant.
He said: "Ashley is a massive
talent and I’m grateful to Gillingham for letting us have him for a
month.
"He brings so much pace and quality
and his goals showed that.
"I worked hard to get players in. I
pursued Ashley’s situation with (Gills development manager) Mark
Patterson and I got the go-ahead on Wednesday.
"He’s got his feet on the ground,
he’s not big-time and he’s settled in well. It’s pleasing when you
bring a player in and he scores two goals."
Porter has also signed left-back
Darren Winfield, brother of Hythe midfielder Lee Winfield.
He said: "Darren’s a player I’ve
been after for four years and he’s decided to step up to the plate.
I’ve been looking for a left-back and he’s settled in well."

a success at Hythe? Have your say below.
