Gillingham striker Marcus Wyllie has gone out on loan for the rest of the season.
Wyillie’s recently had time out through injury and has now joined National League Dagenham & Redbridge, a side in need of points to avoid relegation.
The 25-year-old joined the Gills from Enfield Town in the summer for an undisclosed fee, after helping them to promotion in the Isthmian Premier Division, scoring 30 league goals.
Wyllie hasn’t been able to have the same impact having stepped up to the Football League and his one goal in 16 appearances came against Crystal Palace under-21s in the EFL Trophy.
In the league, Wyllie’s made seven starts and another five appearances off the bench.
On returning to non-league football, Wyllie said: “I am really happy and excited (to be at Dagenham).
“I want to pick up where I left off (at Enfield) and contribute as much as possible to Dagenham and hopefully end the season well.
“I would like to get a couple of goals – I definitely have some goals set in mind that I want to hit.”
Gillingham manager John Coleman spoke this week about having plenty of attacking options, with Peterborough loan striker Jacob Wakeling catching the eye in training.
Coleman’s got numerous other options in attacking areas.
Dagenham play at home to Tamworth on Saturday and Wyllie is available to play. He joins a team that includes former Gills midfield pair Jake Hessenthaler and their captain Josh Rees.
