Peter Taylor has been confirmed as Gillingham’s permanent manager until the end of the season.

Taylor took control at the League One club on an interim basis almost a month ago to the day following Martin Allen’s sacking.

He had won two and lost two of his four league games prior to Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to non-league Brackley in the first round of the FA Cup.

Gillingham’s chairman, Paul Scally, has seen enough to call off his search and appoint Taylor on a full-time basis until May at least.
