Striker Joe Gbodé completed a deadline day move to Kenilworth Road from Gillingham in September 2025.
The 20-year-old graduated from the Priestfield academy and made his debut as a 16-year-old in an FA Cup tie in November 2021.
He earned experience in loan spells at Margate, Folkestone, Hastings, Maidstone and Aveley but broke into the Gills squad last season.
Gbodé scored his first goal for the Kent club against Notts County in February this year and scored twice in the final two games of the season against Wimbledon and Swindon.
He played against us during our pre-season friendly in July and had been a regular for the Gills at the start of the 2025/26 season before joining the Hatters.
