Goalkeeper Taite Holtam has signed for Ashford United on loan.
The 20-year-old, who recently featured in pre-season games against Chatham and Sheppey, made his professional league debut for Gillingham last season, keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 win against MK Dons in April at MEMS Priestfield Stadium, before then playing against Cheltenham away from home on Good Friday in a 1-1 draw.
This will be Taite's second spell at Ashford, where former Gills defender Alan Walker is currently Director of Football. Barry Fuller also plays for them. Ashford play in the Isthmian League South-East Division and begin their season away at Sheppey on Saturday August 9.
Holtam, who signed his first pro deal in the summer of 2024, has also played for Herne Bay and Phoenix Sports.
