Gillingham's loan signing Danny East shows promise in cameo debut against Plymouth

Danny East made his Gillingham debut at the weekend after signing on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old Hull City player, pictured, made a brief appearance towards the end of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Plymouth.

Manager Martin Allen said: “East showed what he can do - and what a player he looks.”

East has yet to make his Hull debut, but earlier this season he made 19 appearances for fellow League 2 side Northampton. It was there where Allen first recognised the player could do a job for his own team.

“He played full-back and I circled him on my sheet of paper,” said Allen. “He’s aggressive, athletic, hungry, with a good attitude and he is a winner.”

East can play in a variety of positions, including both right and left-back, and in midfield, which is where he appeared on Saturday.
