Having passed the 600 career appearances mark last month, Gillingham defender Matt Lawrence has expressed his desire to stay at Priestfield beyond this summer.

"It took a little bit of time to settle into this division but in the last 15-20 games, I think I have proved to people I can play and I am not too old.
"If everything goes right, I see myself here but I can’t predict the future. I don’t see why I can’t play at this level for another year or two.
"I love playing football and at some point I will go and play Sunday League with my mates, that’s no problem.
"I started off playing Sunday League when I was 15 so there is no reason why I won’t go back."
