Gillingham have bolstered their squad further by announcing the signing of striker Josh Walker on loan until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old striker becomes the second signing under Stephen Clemence in the January window with Remeao Hutton having joined permanently from Swindon Town last week.

Walker began his career in the youth ranks at both Tottenham and Fulham, going on to feature several times in Premier League 2, before signing for non-league Hendon, via a loan spell at Wealdstone, in the summer of 2017. 

During his one and only season at Avenue Park Stadium the striker netted 17 goals in 42 appearances, alerting the attentions of Barnet who signed the player in the summer of 2018.

Josh spent three seasons at the Hive, netting 13 times in 58 appearances, before joining Dagenham & Redbridge in July 2021. Over an 18-month spell he scored 23 times in 60 appearances with Burton Albion then paying an undisclosed fee for his services in February of 2023.

Walker has featured 35 times for the Brewers, scoring three times. 

He could make his debut away to MK Dons this weekend.

On signing his loan deal, Josh said: “I am delighted to be here. I heard about the interest a couple iof days ago and it was a no brainer for me.

“I like to get off the shoulder, I can finish with both feet, I’m quick. I’m ready to go.”
