Gillingham striker Mark McCammon returns from injury in defeat at Concord Rangers

Mark McCammon made his first
Gillingham appearance for almost half a year on Tuesday night.
The big striker played the final 20
minutes of the Gills’ friendly match at Concord Rangers.
Gillingham lost the match 2-0 but
McCammon did find the net, only for his goal to be harshly ruled
out for off-side. Home keeper Lamar Johnson also made one good stop
with his legs on a lively showing for the 31-year-old.
McCammon last pulled on a
Gillingham shirt on February 6 in the 4-0 League 1 defeat at
Brentford.
He was subsequently loaned out to
Bradford, where he picked up an injury. Summer surgery meant he
missed the early part of pre-season but is now fighting to win over
manager Andy Hessenthaler and prove he is good enough.
Gillingham assistant manager Ian
Hendon said: "It was good to see Mark McCammon back in a kit and I
thought he scored a perfectly good goal. The officials ruled it out
for offside but why they did that I don’t know but he looked sharp
and lively.
"He got around the pitch, he ran
and chased and won his headers as you would expect. He showed good
mobility which was quite pleasing."
Do you think Mark McCammon
can be a force in League 2 this season? Comment below.
