Danny Spiller ready to decline MLS offer with US side Chicago Fire for Gillingham chance
Comments |

Danny Spiller believes he played the best football of his
career under Andy Hessenthaler at Gillingham and the midfielder is
hoping to be offered
the chance to link up with him again.
The 28-year-old former apprentice
spent nine years at Priestfield, before leaving three seasons ago
to have spells with Millwall, Wycombe and Dagenham.
An offer to play in the MLS in the
United States with Chicago Fire came up but transfer restrictions
mean that can’t happen until January at the earliest.
He said: "They said they would like
to provisionally offer me a contract but they had a full roster. I
would certainly put that on hold for the chance to play for the
gaffer again."
Spiller added: "Hessy has always
been an inspiring character in my career.
"He is the first person I would
contact and am just grateful for the opportunity to come and get
myself fit.
"It’s been a pleasure to work with
Andy, Ian Hendon and my old team-mate Nicky Southall. I have come
in and felt at home straightaway and still got a soft spot for the
club."
Spiller netted in Tuesday’s win at
Dartford and is in the squad for the trip to France this
weekend.
