Howe has scored a total of 27 league goals while out on loan

Gillingham manager Mark Stimson says he has no complaints about loan striker Rene Howe's contribution, even though he is yet to score for the club.

Howe will play his eighth game on loan from Peterborough at Stockport on Saturday and the Gills boss is sure the 23-year-old will find the net soon.

"He'll be frustrated because in every game he's had opportunities but not got one yet," Stimson told BBC Radio Kent.

"But it isn't for the lack of getting in the area."

Stimson added: "If he keeps doing it then I'm sure sooner or later he'll get one.

"But defensively Rene's good for us as well - he helps out with his height and his heading ability."
