Here’s a rephrased version of the news article:
“Gillingham’s recent recruit Elliott Nevitt feels he has found a club whose ambitions align perfectly with his own.
The 27-year-old forward turned professional three years ago, rising through the ranks from Sunday League football to impress at non-league levels.
Nevitt, who recently made his debut for Gillingham against Millwall in a friendly last weekend, experienced disappointment in May when Crewe Alexandra narrowly missed out on promotion at Wembley. He now sees his move to Gillingham as an opportunity to continue climbing the football ladder.
“I felt this was the right move for me,” said Nevitt. “The goal is promotion. It’s tough to talk about missing out on promotion (with Crewe); it was heartbreaking. I hope this year we can secure automatic promotion.”
“This ambition is what attracted me here. When I spoke with the owners, everything felt right. I’m here for promotion, to compete, to score goals, and to see the team succeed. That’s why I play football – to win.”
Nevitt began his professional career at Tranmere before moving to Crewe, where he scored 18 goals last season.
“Winger Aaron Rowe, also joining from Crewe, combined well with me against Millwall, creating the best chance for us. Only a good save denied me a goal,” he recalled.
“I enjoy playing with Aaron; he’s talented, and our partnership is promising.”
Nevitt is settling in nicely at Gillingham, especially with Rowe’s presence and the camaraderie among the team.
“I’ve settled in well,” he said. “Aaron and I arrived together, and now we’re integrating smoothly. The lads are great, and we’re getting along.”
Having worked hard to achieve his professional status, Nevitt is determined to give his all this season.
“I embrace the opportunity and try to enjoy being a professional every day,” he emphasized.
“I know how much the club means to the fans, and I’ll give everything on the pitch. They’ll see my passion every time I play.”
Gillingham faces Championship side Watford at Priestfield this Saturday in their next pre-season fixture.
“It’ll be a tough match, but that’s what we want,” Nevitt commented. “We need challenging games to prepare for the season opener.”
