Young defender Connor Essam is hoping he can be the answer
to Gillingham’s problems at the back.
The centre-back was recalled to Priestfield from a loan spell
with Dartford by manager Andy Hessenthaler after his Gills side
conceded eight goals in their last two games.
Essam, 19, will have to wait a little longer for his opportunity
– should Hessenthaler select him – after Saturday’s League 2 game
at home to Hereford was postponed, but after 18 months of waiting
he’s taking it all in his stride.
Essam said: "I am quite a patient person and when you are a
youngster you have to be.
"Obviously the postponement was gutting but I am sure there will
be another opportunity at some point.
"It’s the fittest I have felt and I am playing the best football
I have ever played. That’s mainly thanks to the loan I had at
Dartford.
"I am improving as a player and I am ready."
