Former Blackburn Rovers favourite, Bradley Dack, has penned a new one-year deal at Gillingham.

The former Rovers playmaker returned to his first club last summer after being released by Sunderland. The 31-year-old scored one goal in 20 appearances, after missing October and November with injury.

However, new Gills boss Gareth Ainsworth, who has his own Ewood PArk connections, has offered Dack a new deal which he's accepted.

He will be hoping to put his injury troubles behind him which have plagued him since leaving Rovers in the summer of 2023.

"I am delighted that Bradley has signed a new deal," Ainsworth said.

"His attitude and commitment since I have been at the club has been first class and he is a great character to have in our dressing room. I look forward to working with him in the new season."

Dack played 173 times for Rovers and scored 57 times, helping them secure promotion from League One. He became the talisman of the team, only for back-to-back anterior cruciate ligament injuries to hamper him in his prime years.

A series of muscle injuries have been his downfall since having struggled to stay fit in his solitary season at Sunderland. His second campaign in League Two will hopefully prove more fruitful.
