Gillingham midfielder Ben Chapman has joined Bostik South side Faversham Town on loan.

The 19-year-old was handed a professional contract by the Gills this season after completing a scholarship at the club.

He has played three times for the Gillingham first team, making his debut as a substitute in the League Cup game at Reading.

Chapman also came off the bench in the Checkatrade Trophy match against Colchester and played 90 minutes against Reading under-21s in the 7-5 Trophy win at Priestfield.

The midfielder has yet to make a Football League appearance but has been on the bench for the Gills five times in League 1 this season, following his involvement in the senior squad a couple of times during the previous campaign.

He joins Faversham on a one-month youth loan and is available for their trip to Greenwich Borough on Saturday.
