Gillingham have extended Stanley Aborah’s contract for a further month.

The midfielder, who progressed through the world-famous Ajax youth academy, signed an initial one-month contract at the start of the season but a thigh injury has ruled him out of action and he has yet to kick a ball in a meaningful game for the Gills.

Aborah impressed throughout pre-season and manager Andy Hessenthaler feels his input could be vital in sticky situations.

"Someone like him on Saturday (against Lincoln) might have been key to unlocking the door," Hessenthaler said.

"He has quality but we know what the key is at home. We need to play at a lot higher tempo from start to finish and maybe play a little more forcefully in respect of getting the ball from back to front a little bit quicker."
