Bradley Stevenson has joined Isthmian League side Herne Bay.
The 21-year-old midfielder has been looking for a club since leaving Gillingham at the start of September.
Former boss Steve Lovell tipped Stevenson to have a bright future in the game, having turned to the youngster when short of numbers last season.
He made three league appearances for the Gills last season, as well as appearing off the bench against Millwall in the League Cup.
The player joined Margate in January on loan and finished the previous campaign at Hastings United.
Stevenson, who is from Canterbury, found himself surplus to requirements under current boss Steve Evans, however.
He left the Gills - having made eight first team appearances in total - on the same day as former captain Gabriel Zakuani, who recently issued a 'come and get me plea' after no suitable offers had been made.
