So Hessenthaler has today told us that he has signed someone, but why can't he tell us, Are we going to be very excited about the player or what. Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler says the club have made their first signings of the summer but are not yet ready to make an official announcement. It has been a quiet close season at Priestfield so far, with only Joe Martin, who played for the club on non-contract terms last season, agreeing a new deal. The long wait for new faces appears to be almost over, after the Gills boss revealed this morning (Thursday) they had completed more than one deal. Details are expected shortly, possibly before the weekend. He said: "We have made some signings that will all unfold soon. Weâre keeping our cards close to our chest for the moment." Archant KOS Media was unable to get any information on the players' identity, after being contacted by the club this week requesting we refrained from asking staff questions about specific targets. Citing the recent speculation on players as "unhelpful", Gillinghamâs coaching staff will not be answering enquiries about targets until they have officially signed, in case the negotiations are hijacked by a rival. The clubâs training ground is also off-limits to journalists "for the foreseeable future". Gillingham have been linked with AFC Wimbledon striker Danny Kedwell, former Dover full-back Matt Fish and transfer-listed Peterborough duo Charlie Lee and Chris Whelpdale in recent weeks. http://www.kentnews.co.uk/p_12/Article/a_14662/Hessenthaler_-_Gillingham_have_made_some_signings
