Gillingham Sign Jordan Graham on Loan From Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chance For Regular Game Time For Jordan Graham At Gillingham
A move to Gillingham will see Graham earn the chance to receive regular game time, something of which he has been lacking in recent seasons.
He made the move to Molineux in 2015 but has 20 appearances for the club since then.
During that period, he has had Oxford United, Fulham and Ipswich Town, with the former proving the most valuable for the 24-year-old.
In total, he made just 55 appearances across his career.
What Was Said
Speaking to the official Gillingham website about the arrival of Graham, manager Steve Evans said: “Jordan is a player who gives our squad great balance.
“The deal was done after I spent time meeting the player and talking through a plan for him. A Championship club tried to hijack this signing today but the lad kept to his word; that is a great sign of his character.
“He plays wide on the right or left and is effective playing off a main striker.
“The kid is quick, strong and technically very efficient. Again I won’t build him up to our supporters; they are good judges so they will inform themselves.
“However, I am really pleased to get Jordan in. There was competition for his signature, late in the day, again well played Chairman for your support.
“This lad can really play. If he wants it bad enough he can become one of the best signings of all the transfer deadline day movers today in League 1.”
Evans will be hoping that the arrival of Graham can help his side mount a push for the play-offs. They are currently 12th in League One, but are only six points off of the play-offs.
