Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler hands former Ebbsfleet United keeper Lance Cronin a deal at Priestfield
Comments |
Lance Cronin completed his move to
Gillingham on Monday evening.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper has
signed a one year contract, with the club having an option of
extending that for a second season.
Former Ebbsfleet keeper Cronin
(pictured) has been training with the Gills throughout the
pre-season and has done enough to convince manager Andy
Hessenthaler to hand him a deal.
Cronin started out as a youngster
at Crystal Palace and had a loan spell with Wycombe before joining
Oldham on non-contract terms.
A short stay at Shrewsbury followed
before joining Ebbsfleet in 2006 and making a name for himself as
one of the top keepers in the Conference. He was called up to the
non-league England side and made seven appearances for the National
XI.
Cronin played nearly
200 games for the Fleet, including an FA Trophy win at Wembley
in May 2008.
He joins the Gills to compete with
Alan Julian for the number one shirt.
