Antonio German: Aldershot sign Gillingham forward on loan

Conference side Aldershot Town have signed Gillingham forward Antonio German on a one-month loan deal.

The 23-year-old has scored two goals in 16 appearances for the Gills this season, but has not featured for the first team since November.

"Even though he's dropping down two divisions to come to us, it's a good opportunity for him," Shots caretaker boss Chris Barker said.

"He's ready to play and hopefully he'll make our squad stronger."

German joined Gillingham from Brentford in the summer of 2013 following a loan spell at Priestfield Stadium the previous season.

Since his move to Kent, 22 of his 28 outings for the Gills have been as a substitute.

Meanwhile Luton midfielder Jim Stevenson has extended his loan spell with the Shots until the end of the season.
