Elliott List has signed a new deal with the Gills.
The 21-year-old forward finished last season in good form, scoring two goals in their last two games.
He netted a stoppage-time goal at Bristol Rovers to earn the Gills a point from their penultimate game of the season.
And List, who hadn’t scored in his first 50 senior games, then made it two in two with a late effort in Gills’ 5-2 win over Plymouth Argyle at Priestfield.
He’s the first of Gills’ out of contract players to have committed for next season.
"I enjoy playing here, I finished last season very positively and I’m looking forward to 2018/19," said the young forward.
Manager Steve Lovell added: “Elliott has been one of our better players throughout the season. He started well when we took over and when he returned to playing up top he scored a couple of goals.
"I’m really pleased for him and potentially he has a good future ahead.”
List first joined the Gills following his release by Crystal Palace, snapped up on a free by former boss Justin Edinburgh.
He made his Gills debut at Swindon on Boxing Day, 2015, in a 3-1 win. He went onto make five more appearances that season.
List featured in 19 games during the 2016/17 season and during the last campaign he racked up another 28 appearances.
Lovell picked him to start in his first game in charge, a 1-0 win at Peterborough, and the pacey forward impressed in the 1-1 draw against Wigan days later.
