Young Gillingham defender Tom Wynter has joined Dover Athletic on a one-month loan deal.

The highly-rated 19-year-old was being chased by a number of clubs but he has decided to join former Priestfield boss Andy Hessethaler's Ryman League Premier Division side.

Hessenthaler said: "Tom gives us something that we're missing at the back - pace.

"I've watched the kid a few times playing for Gillingham reserves and he's impressed me.The lad is also very powerful and has a lot of talent."

Wynter goes straight into the squad for the trip to Dorchester on Saturday
