GILLINGHAM manager Ronnie Jepson has confirmed that Justin Cohrane will be leaving the club when his loan deal expires.

The tough-tackling midfielder became Jepson's third loan signing in the January transfer window when he joined from Crewe and has made five appearances for the Priestfield outfit, scoring one goal.

But he has found first team opportunities harder to come by of late and has not been involved in Gillingham's run of three wins in a row.

Jepson said: "Unforutnately he was poorly with food poisoning and we had three wins on the spin. It's difficult to change a team when that happens.

"I'd like to thank Justin for his services, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well because he's a decent character."
