The 30-year old forward, enjoyed a successful three month loan spell with the Gills scoring seven goals in 13 appearances earlier in the campaign and manager Andy Hessenthaler is delighted to recapture the experienced forward. Speaking to the club’s website Hessenthaler said, “I’m delighted we’ve been able to bring Jo back to the club. He did very well for us in his loan spell and it’s a big boost to be able to bring him back.”
The announcement of Kuffour’s signing came just a few hours after the Kent-based club agreed a deal to sign Dagenham & Redbridge striker Gavin Tomlin on loan for the rest of the season. Tomlin is hoping to rediscover his goal scoring touch at his new club and see’s his move to the Gills as a fresh start. He said, “I wanted to start again fresh from Dagenham, which is a good club. From a goal scoring point of view at Dagenham it’s not been going well for me so I think I need a fresh start.” The pair are set to be in the squad for Saturday’s clash with Shrewsbury Town and with top scorer Danny Kedwell sidelined for several weeks due to injury, both could make a first start upfront together.
Hessenthaler’s additions to his injury hit squad could pave the way for unhappy forward Luke Rooney to make his switch to fellow League Two, promotion contenders Swindon Town. But despite the expected departure of Rooney, it is anticipated that the Gills boss will not make any further additions to his squad during the January transfer window.
