Bradley Paul Dack (born 31 December 1993) is an English footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Football League One club Gillingham.

Career

Dack's first academy side was Charlton Athletic, where he spent three years before being released at the age of 14. Whilst attending secondary school at Beths Grammar he captained his school side to multiple North Kent Cup victories as well as two Kent Cup finals, losing in year 9 and winning in year 11. Dack then started a three-year scholarship in 2010 with Gillingham, signing his first professional contract in May 2012.[3] He enjoyed a prolific pre-season in 2012 including a four-goal haul against Royal Engineers,[4] which attracted attention from Gillingham manager Martin Allen,[5] leading to his professional debut on 14 August 2012, in a 2–1 victory over Bristol City in the Football League Cup.[6]

He made his league debut against Bradford City on 18 August 2012, being narrowly denied a late goal by the upright.[7] He scored his first senior goal on 4 September 2012 in the Football League Trophy away to Crawley Town and signed a new three-year contract the following day.[8]

Dack received his first red card as a professional for violent conduct against Southend United on 18 September 2012, having come on as substitute, after first winning a penalty.[9]

On 3 January 2013, Dack moved on a one month loan to Football Conference side Braintree Town.[10]

On 16 April 2014, Dack signed a new four-year deal keeping him contracted at Gillingham until June 2018.[11]
