Goalkeeper Jack Bonham has joined Championship side Stoke City after leaving Gillingham.

Bonham's contract at Priestfield expires this week and he has become Stoke's second signing of the summer.

The 27-year-old was a popular keeper at Gills, making more than 80 league and cup appearances for the club after joining from Brentford. He kept 11 clean sheets for Gillingham last season.

Bonham started his career with Watford and played one Championship game - the final match of the 2012/13 season.

Named as a substitute, Bonham came on against Leeds in the first half for the injured Jonathan Bond but conceded two goals - including a 90th-minute winner - as Watford missed out on automatic promotion and were subsequently beaten in the play-offs.

He failed to make the breakthrough to first-team football on a regular basis at Brentford and instead it was loan spells at Carlisle and then Bristol Rovers that established Bonham in the Football League.

Stoke boss Michael O'Neill said: "We already have a strong goalkeeping group with Adam Davies, Joe Bursik and Blondy Nna Noukeu and Jack will certainly add to that strength in depth. We are pleased to have him on board."

A Gillingham statement said: "We would like to thank Jack for his services while at the club, and we wish him all the best for the future."
