Gillingham Football Club has announced its released and retained list following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

There will be few surprises to Gillingham fans as to who will be leaving the club following a disappointing season that saw the club finish 17th in League Two.

A final day 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town at MEMS Priestfield failed to paper over the cracks of the disappointment after the club had been leading the league at the start of the campaign.

The likes of Josh Andrews and Max Clark will be released, whilst Garath McCleary has been offered a new deal after impressing in recent weeks.
