Striker Jacob Erskine has returned to Gillingham after Bromley declined to extend his loan spell.

The 20-year-old (pictured) was set to stay with the Blue Square South side for a second month but Gills boss Mark Stimson has revealed that the player is now heading back.

Stimson said: "Jacob Erskine is coming back because of financial reasons at Bromley."

Erskine made a surprise move to Gillingham from Bromley in early August after impressing Stimson in a pre-season friendly between the two sides. He has made six appearances for the Gills.

Erskine's return could signal a move out of the club on loan for striker Andy Pugh, who is being monitored by a local Blue Square South side.
