Neale Cooper has made former Aston Villa trainee Danny Jackman his third signing of the summer.
The 22-year-old has impressed on trial with Gillingham both in training and in Wednesday night's friendly with Folkestone Invicta.
The defender has signed a two-year contract with the Gills just two days after Cooper secured the services of Barnsley full-back Tom Williams, also on a two-year contract.
Stockport County paid a £70,000 fee to bring Jackman to Edgeley Park from Villa in December 2003 after a successful loan spell. That season the defender went on to make 27 appearances for the Club scoring two goals.
Last term Jackman racked up 35 appearances and scored two goals, one of which was the opener in a 4-0 win over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
Danny, who has also spent time on-loan with Cambridge United, was signed by former County manager Sammy Mcilroy and made quite an impact in his favoured position at left back, although he is equally comfortable on the left side of midfield.
His performances in a County shirt have led to a number of clubs showing an interest in him including Bournemouth and Yeovil. The latter he nearly signed for on transfer deadline day.
