Spiller has impressed during his second spell at Priestfield

Gillingham have decided to retain midfielder Danny Spiller and hope to agree an extension to his contract within the next couple of weeks.

The 29-year-old returned to the club in the summer on a five-month deal following a successful trial.

Assistant manager Ian Hendon told BBC Radio Kent: "Its now down to the manager and the chairman to sit down and sort that out.

"We'd obviously like to keep Danny - he's done great for us."

Hendon continued: "He's a good pro and works his socks off so I'm sure that will be sorted out in the very near future.

"It's just a matter of the manager and the chairman sitting down and having a chat.

"We've said we'd like to keep Danny - and now it's up to the powers that be."

Spiller began his career as a trainee with the Gills and made his senior debut for them in 2001.

He moved to Millwall on a free transfer in 2007 but a series of injuries prevented his progress at the New Den.

During the 2009/10 season, he had spells at Wycombe, Welling United and Dagenham & Redbridge.
