Jackson has scored 16 goals for the Gills this season, 15 in the league

Gillingham boss Mark Stimson believes striker Simeon Jackson could become the club's first player in seven years to get 20 goals in one season.

The 21-year-old scored his 16th goal of the campaign against Darlington and needs only four more to equal Marlon King's tally from the 2001/02 season.

Stimson told BBC Radio Kent: "He'll go for that, he probably should.

"There are 10 games to go. I think his average is probably 1.25 goals every three games, so he has got a chance."

Stimson added: He's in good form and it's nice to have someone in your squad who you know is capable of scoring every other game."
