Following his release from Championship side Sunderland in June, Bradley Dack has been left without a club. Gillingham manager, Mark Bonner, has revealed he has had contact with the midfielder over an audacious return to Priestfield.
Bradley Dack left Gillingham seven years ago for Blackburn.
After almost 200 appearances for Gillingham, netting 38 goals, and assisting a further 34, Dack departed for Blackburn in a £750,000 deal at just 23 years of age.

Bradley Dack left Gillingham seven years ago for Blackburn.
After almost 200 appearances for Gillingham, netting 38 goals, and assisting a further 34, Dack departed for Blackburn in a £750,000 deal at just 23 years of age.
Dack became a fan favourite during his time at Gillingham with the attacking midfielder’s performances ensuring that the club would remain in the third tier for four years while he was at the club after being promoted from League Two in 2012/13, eventually returning to the fourth tier in 2022.
Blackburn Rovers looked to have grabbed themselves a bargain by signing Dack after the 23-year-old recorded an outstanding 27 goal contributions in his debut season with Tony Mowbray’s Blackburn.
Mowbray and Dack continued their successful partnership with each other the following season after Blackburn’s promotion to the Championship with Mowbray’s star man contributing almost the same number of goals and assists as he had in the previous season, despite the step up in quality.
Injuries have hampered Dack’s career.
However, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in December 2019 unfortunately was the start of a painful and frustrating time for Bradley Dack’s career.
Dack missed 49 games of football due to the injury, only for the unthinkable to happen and the then 27-year-old suffering a second ACL injury merely three months after returning from the first occurrence of the injury.
