Gillingham Confirm Marriott and Hewitt Loans - Ipswich Town News
League One Gillingham have confirmed that striker Jack Marriott has joined them on loan for the rest of the season and that right-back Elliott Hewitt is back at the Priestfield Stadium until January 30th.
Marriott, 19, has just completed a highly successful loan spell at Skrill Premier Woking, where he scored nine goals in nine games, while Hewitt, also 19, is close to full fitness having had his initial loan with the Gills cut short by an ankle injury after only three appearances.
Town have included 24-hour recalls in both deals, although that only applies after the first 28 days in the case of Marriott.
The Blues striker could make his Gills debut in tonight's live Sky game against Wolves at the Priestfield. Hewitt is likely to be back in action next week.
