Striker Roman Campbell is on his way back to Sittingbourne after briefly returning to Gillingham.

The highly-rated youngster missed Saturday's 2-1 win over East Grinstead after being recalled by the Gills.

But it was only temporary and Brickies manager Chris Lynch says the forward, who scored three times in as many games at the start of his loan, will be at training tomorrow night (Thursday).

That means he'll be available for Bostik South East trips to VCD this Saturday and Three Bridges on Tuesday.

Lynch said: "He was recalled for a week but he will be back with us moving forward.

"I think what it was, they just wanted to have a chat with him in-house and put him through his paces up there for another week.

"He went back and did his bits and I would expect to see him back with us on Thursday. I'm sure he will be.

"I've spoken to him and, quite frankly, it was a case of him back going back there so they could have a look at a few things in terms of what progress he's made.

"I think they just do reviews, like we would do of our players."

Sittingbourne made another new signing before the East Grinstead match, adding midfielder Chris Bernard from Margate.

Lynch knew him from his Dover days and struck a deal with Gate assistant manager Mike Sandmann, who doubles up as Whites' academy manager.

Bernard impressed on his debut and Lynch said: "He's a very good player, he's got Conference and Bostik Prem experience at Dover and Margate and I have links to both.

"He came in for his first session last Thursday, he really impressed and I felt comfortable putting him straight in the starting line-up.

"He had a good game. He was there breaking up play everywhere, he put some great challenges in and got some balls forward.

"It's good having contacts, especially for the players that have got good names and reputations and are definitely going to go places.

"In this neck of the woods, you've only really got Gillingham and Dover in terms of the bigger names, so it's handy having good contacts with both of the bigger clubs."
