New loan signing Matt Fry is determined to be a regular fixture in the Gillingham side after making his debut against MK Dons at the weekend.

The 19-year-old West Ham defender started against Paul Ince's side and is relishing the prospect of playing against Charlton at Priestfield on Saturday.

"It's a massive step forward," Fry told KentOnline. "It's a big step up for me from reserve team football, which is a good level, but you can't beat playing out in front of crowds and first-team football."

He added: "I now hope to play on Saturday against Charlton. My aim was to come in and do my best so I can cement my place.

"I'm looking forward to my home debut in front of the Gillingham fans and that will be a good experience for me."
