Gillingham boss Mark Stimson has
confirmed his interest in Bishop’s Stortford striker Charlie
Sheringham.
The 21-year-old, the son of former
England and Manchester United forward Teddy, has been in the
non-league scene since being released by Crystal Palace two years
ago.
Stimson had been hoping to bring
Sheringham, pictured, in on trial but the recent bad weather has
put paid to those plans for now.
"I’ve seen Charlie play a lot and he
is a good player at that level," said Stimson. "There was a
possibility he was going to come here and do some training but with
the games being postponed and the facilities not being available,
it didn’t materialise.
"Whether that will happen in the next
couple of months, who knows?
"Whether he will suit this division
yet I’m not sure but we are interested in him."
Sheringham has scored 17 goals in 23
Blue Square South appearances this season after moving to Woodside
Park in the summer for £6,500 from Welling, where he scored 28
goals and also picked up the player-of-the-year award.
