Two Gillingham youngsters have been sent out on loan.

Aaron Simpson has joined Margate for a month while Jack Tucker has signed for Greenwich Borough on work experience.

Simpson, 18, is a first year pro and his three appearance for the Gills this season have all been in the Checkatrade Trophy.

He came off the bench against Southend before starting the games against Colchester and Reading.

Simpson has been an unused sub for the Gills in five league games, the last at home to Bury in mid-November.

He goes into the Margate squad for their Bostik Premier home game against Tooting & Mitcham.

Tucker joins Bostik South side Greenwich just days after agreeing a first pro deal with the Gills.

The 18-year-old central defender came off the bench for Gillingham to make his league debut against Portsmouth. He also got minutes in the Checkatrade Trophy match against Reading.

He joins on a work experience deal, meaning there is no time-frame on the deal.

Greenwich are away to Molesey this Saturday.
