Gillingham have signed QPR forward Jay Emmanuel-Thomas on a season-long loan.
The 25-year-old, who began his career at Arsenal, scored five goals in 15 QPR appearances last season and was also loaned to MK Dons.
"I had a great conversation with the manager; we spoke in great detail about what he wants to do at the club," he told Gillingham's official website. "That was exciting to hear, and it's even more exciting to be a part of that."
He will go straight into Justin Edinburgh's squad for Saturday's Sky Bet League One fixture at Southend, and the manager said: "He's a player of Championship quality, so adding him to our squad is a massive coup, and I have to thank the chairman (Paul Scally) for working tirelessly to secure his arrival."
