Ben Williamson: Gillingham striker signs for Cambridge United
Last updated on .From the section Football
Cambridge United have signed striker Ben Williamson from Gillingham until summer 2017 for an undisclosed fee.
Williamson recently returned from a loan spell with the U's, having scored three goals in eight League Two games.
The 27-year-old joined Gillingham from Port Vale in June, but failed to score in 14 appearances for the promotion-chasing League One side.
"In terms of the attributes that he brings, he adds a bit of everything," Cambridge manager Shaun Derry said.
"Everyone will have seen Ben certainly possesses a great deal of pace and he has the ability to change the whole complexity of a football game.
"His ability is unquestioned and he has proved that at League One level, but it's his character that attracts us to Ben most."
