The on-loan Queens Park Rangers man came off the bench during the Gills 2-2 draw at Bradford on Saturday and Hessenthaler says the decision to bring in Vines was virtually ‘a no brainer.’
Following Saturday’s match the Priestfield boss said: “Rowan isn’t match fit – he has been at QPR for a while and he’s still under contract there. To be fair to the lad he’s just hungry to get out to try and get some games and for me it was a no brainer as there was no cost in it for us.”
Top scorer Danny Kedwell picked up a back injury during last Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to promotion chasing Crawley Town and with Gavin Tomlin also sidelined, Hessenthaler was pleased to bring in a player of Vines’ experience.
He added: “We will try and get him as fit as we can over the next eight games with us and I think he will be an asset. He’s experienced, he’s one that can come on and he showed glimpses on Saturday.”
