Gillingham have landed experienced goalkeeper Simon Royce on an emergency loan until the end of the season.

Royce, 35, has been drafted into the Priestfield Stadium after the Gills lost fellow on-loan keeper Romain Larrieu.

Plymouth Argyle recalled Larrieu and, with the Gills' regular number one Kelvin Jack still sidelined through injury, manager Ronnie Jepson was forced into the emergency loan market.

QPR keeper Royce has made 20 Championship appearances for the R's this season and has agreed a stay until the end of the season.
