Gills goalkeeper Simon Royce signs new contract
Gillingham goalkeeper Simon Royce has
agreed to sign a new one-year contract.
Royce was due to put
pen-to-paper when the Gills players began pre-season
training today (Thursday), and his decision will end weeks of
speculation over the 37-year-old's future at Priestfield.
Royce has made 81 league and cup
appearances for Gillingham since arriving on loan from QPR at the
end of the 2006/07 season.
The popular keeper - who won the
player-of-the-season award the following year - played a key role
last season, keeping 20 clean sheets, as the Gills earned an
instant return to League 1.
