New siging out to avoid relegation

New Gillingham signing Danny Cullip is confident he can help the club avoid League One relegation. The defender joined the Gills on a non-contract basis on Monday after being shown the door at Queens Park Rangers and he could feature in Saturday's League One clash with Huddersfield. And Cullip has set his sights on helping Gillingham, who sit in the relegation zone, fight to avoid the drop. "I've joined the club on a non-contract terms until the end of the season," Cullip told Gillingham's official website.

No nonsense

"I want to get some games and hopefully I can help the club out of its current position. "I'm quite vocal and I like to organise people around me. Like most centre-halves I am no nonsense and like to get the job done. "I like to get in the faces of opposition forwards and make it an uncomfortable 90 minutes. "We're down the bottom, it's not a nice place to be but I enjoy these situations when everything is against you, your backs are to the walls and you've got to put the tin helmets on and dig in."
On-field leader
Meanwhile, Gillingham manager Mark Stimson is confident Cullip will prove to be the on-field leader the club is missing. "He is someone who, at this present time, we need and we need a leader," added Stimson. "He is up for that challenge, which is very important because in our position, people are sometimes not up for it. "But he certainly is and from what we have seen in the training ground so far, it looks like he could be a very good signing for us."
