Cumbers eyes up Gills first team
Gillingham
Gillingham striker Luis Cumbers hopes to earn a place in the Gills' first team after successful spells out on loan with non league sides.

The 19-year-old is delighted to be back at Priestfield after spending time with Maidstone and Grays Athletic.

"Both were great experiences for me. I was playing regular games. There's good standards in those leagues and it's definitely helped me out," he said.

"But it's a great feeling obviously to be playing in the Football League."

I am happy to come on for 10 or 20 minutes

Gillingham striker Luis Cumbers

Cumbers is hoping to be included in the Gillingham squad for Tuesday night's match with Oldham at Priestfield, but he has accepted he may have to be patient.

"I want to be involved as much as possible. I am happy to come on for 10 or 20 minutes.

"I am still young. Players like Gary Mulligan and Delroy Facey have been around a bit longer than me. I am happy to sit on the bench and take their place when needed," he added.
