Gillingham have signed goalkeeper Glenn Morris and striker Lewis Walker.

Morris, 38, has spent the past six seasons with League Two rivals Crawley Town where he won the club's player of the year award four times.

It will be his second stint at Priestfield Stadium following a two-season spell with the club between 2014-16.

Morris is expected to compete for a starting place after new arrival Ashley Maynard-Brewer injured his shoulder.

The goalkeeper started his career at Leyton Orient in 2001 and has racked up 532 appearances for five teams over his 21-year career.
