Gillingham have been handed a boost with the news that striker Frank Nouble will stay on loan from West Ham for a third month.

The striker, who has scored five goals for The Gills whilst on loan in the past couple of months will now stay at Priestfield until the game against Bristol Rovers on Decemeber 17th.

Commenting on the news, Gills manager Andy Hessenthaler told the club’s official website:

“We are delighted that Frank has agreed to stay with us for another month.”

The bad news for Gillingham fans is that Nouble hasn’t been handed permission by West Ham to feature in the FA Cup and will miss the First Round Replay with Bournemouth at Priestfield on Tuesday night.
