Charlton right-back Sam Long has been selected for Gillingham reserves in their game against Lewes today at Priestfield.

The Bexley-born youngster is making his second outing for the Gills after appearing in last week’s Combination League fixture against Aldershot.

After catching the eye of manager Mark Stimson the 18-year-old has been given a second opportunity to show what he can do.

Also turning out for Gillingham is 19-year-old Hungarian keeper David Grof, who was recently released by SPL side Hibernian.

Stimson has also named Crystal Palace first-year professional Ryan Carolan in the team.

The rest of the reserve team is made up of youth team players and seniors, with striker Gary Mulligan starting the game.

Gills: Grof, Long, Daniel, Howard, Essam, Wynter, Geering, Carolan, Mulligan, Rooney, Jarrett. Subs: Payne, Murphy, Sargent, Stimson, Quinn.
