Gillingham have offered first professional contracts to five promising youngsters who have come through the ranks at the Priestfield.
Goalkeeper Chris Kiely, who is the son of former Republic of Ireland keeper Dean, plus fellow teenagers Danny Walder, Tom Wynter, Rory Hill and Tayler Thomas have all impressed Gills boss Mark Stimson.
"I could see that these boys have what it takes to make the step up," he told the club's official website.
"Their success is further proof of Gillingham's flourishing youth system.
"(Assistant) Scott Barrett and I now want to nurture their talent even further by taking them into the professional game."
