Gillingham manager Mark Stimson has failed in his bid to capture trialist defender Bobsam Elejiko ahead of the upcoming League Two season.The 26-year-old Nigerian had impressed Stimson in pre-season but has now returned to Royal Antwerp after failing to agree a short-term contract.

However, Stimson is still hoping to add to his squad before the season kicks off at Bournemouth, with winger Tyrone Berry and an unnamed striker on his radar.

Stimson told the club's official website: "Tyrone did well when he came on against Thurrock, he's got a change of pace, gets in behind defences and that's something you need on the bench."

On the striker, he added: "Sometimes deals take time and with this striker, the transfer window doesn't shut until the end of the month so if we have to, we'll wait."
