Forward Andy Barcham has penned a new two-year contract with Gillingham.

Barcham, 22, joined the Gills on a short-term deal from Tottenham Hotspur in January and impressed manager Mark Stimson with a string of impressive performances as they won promotion to League One.

"Andy came to the club last year and helped us achieve what we set out to do," Stimson told the club's official website.

"To get him on a two-year deal is a major plus. There was a fair bit of competition to get his signature but we've beaten the other clubs to it.

"Andy is young and hungry and he puts everything into training and matches. It's a fantastic signing for Gillingham."
