Gillingham have signed former Liverpool, West Ham United and Leicester City defender Paul Konchesky.

The 35-year-old left-back, who was twice capped by England, has chalked up more than 500 appearances during his 19-year career.

Barking-born Konchesky is Gillingham boss Justin Edinburgh's seventh signing of the summer and arrives at Priestfield on a one-year deal.

He said: "I can't wait to get started. It's been a quick turnaround so I'm looking forward to meeting the boys and hopefully playing a big part in a good season for the club.

"Since I first spoke to the manager, I knew it could be a good place for me to play, and I want to go places with this club."

Konchesky was Charlton Athletic's youngest ever debutant when he played against Oxford United in August, 1997 aged just 16 years and 93 days.

After a loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur he joined West Ham for £1.5m in July 2005, and 14 months later moved onto Fulham where he spent three years playing in the 2010 UEFA Cup final.

Roy Hodgson signed him for Liverpool in August 2010, and after just 18 appearances, he had a loan spell with Nottingham Forest before joining Leicester, helping them to the Championship title in 2013/14.

Last season he made 34 appearances for QPR during a loan spell.

Gills boss Justin Edinburgh said: "His CV speaks for itself, so this is a signing that shows our intentions for the season."
