Gillingham will have the use of former Coventry City loanee Dominic Samuel until January 28th.
Samuel has been on loan from Reading and will stay until the end of this month with Gills boss Justin Edinburgh telling BBC Radio Kent: "We will be in discussions at the end of the month with Reading about where it goes thereafter.
"They can see him vastly improving and are mindful he needs to play. It is great news for us."
