Jordan Green is free to leave the club says Gillingham manager Neil Harris.

The winger hasn’t featured since being an unused substitute away to Sutton United at the end of December.

Green, 27, joined in the summer having previously been at Dulwich Hamlet. Prior to that he had league experience with the likes of Yeovil and Barnsley.

He’s made 26 appearances this season - scoring against AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup - but won't play under Harris again, who said: “Jordan Green hasn’t been involved since Sutton away for various reasons and won’t be involved again for the football club.

“He is training with us in the group, but he is not going to play for me again, I expect certain standards within the group.

“Jordan has trained absolutely fine, he is free to leave and find regular football but he is not going to play for us again at the club, we have nothing more to say.”

Olly Lee hasn’t featured recently either.

Speaking about the midfielder, Harris said: “Olly is completely different, he has hardly trained in the last few months, I can’t say too much.

“He is so well respected here, I love Olly, he is a great lad, he’s had a brilliant career but he is not fit to train. I will update more than I can.”

Winger Callum Harriott, meanwhile, is now out of contact at the club but remains training.

Harris said: “His contract finished this week. He is injured at the moment, we have been talking about where we go now.

“We have to make sure we get him up to speed and then have discussions. He is with us for rehab, I like having him in the building and I think he has potential to help us. He is not going to be fit for a few weeks but I have seen qualities in him I like.”

Harris added that he was very close to adding a new face in before the weekend and hoped to have someone in for training on Friday morning. The club have continued to be linked with QPR defender Conor Masterson.

The 24-year-old enjoyed his loan spell with the Gills last season under Harris.
