Gillingham have agreed to let right-back Cheye Alexander leave the club with immediate effect.

Alexander, 29, hasn’t been in the Gills squad for the last two games since the signing of attacking wing-back Remeao Hutton.

His contract at Gillingham has been terminated by mutual agreement.

Head coach Stephen Clemence said last week that it was hard for him to keep everyone at the club happy with new arrivals coming.

With the transfer window closing this week for contracted players, Alexander’s decision to leave frees him up to choose a new club without the pressure of getting a deal done before then.

Alexander - who was due to be out of contract in the summer - leaves the club after making 59 league appearances following his switch in the summer of 2022 from AFC Wimbledon.

The Gills said: “The club would like to thank Cheye for his services and we wish him well for the future.”
