Connor Ogilvie’s exit from Tottenham Hotspur was a long time coming.

Now 23-years-old, Ogilvie did not make a single first team appearance for Spurs and his contract was up this summer.

Yesterday he finalised his next move, signing with Gillingham on a two year deal, BBC Sport reported.

Ogilvie had been on loan at the Gills this season, featuring as a regular.

He sent a message on Twitter, expressing that he felt it was an easy decision.

Ogilvie has spent the past four seasons out on loan, two at Stevenage and two at Gillingham.

His path to the Tottenham first team at left-back was blocked by Danny Rose and Ben Davies, with the pair being internationals for England and Wales.

Ogilvie now gets the chance to build his own career away from Spurs, and potentially start climbing up the football ladder.
