Gillingham have completed the signing of striker Marcus Wyllie from Enfield Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old played a critical part in helping Enfield gain promotion to the National League South last season, scoring 34 times in 49 appearances in all competitions during a prolific spell.

The Towners beat Wingate & Finchley in the play-off semi-finals before beating Chatham Town at the Bauvill Stadium in the final.

Wyllie, who takes his first step into full-time professional Football having only ever played part-time previously, could feature against Dartford at Princes Park on Tuesday. 

Marcus said: “I am really excited to be here; it all happened so quickly and I am still processing it. This is what I have always wanted [playing full-time] and I am delighted to finally get the chance to do it.”

Director of Football, Kenny Jackett, added: “This is a really significant signing for us. As a community club we have a responsibility to scour the various leagues and recruit players who we believe have a bright future and can add depth to our squad.

“We have done our due diligence on Marcus, he is a strong hardworking lad who had a prolific season with Enfield Town and I have no doubt he is the type of player that Gillingham fans will enjoy watching.

“Our recruitment team are working very hard when it comes to spotting talent in our region who have the capabilities to play at our level, and possibly even higher. We are giving players the opportunity to show what they can do and we will continue to work hard to add quality to our existing setup.”
