The yearly total is around half of the amount they paid out the year before, when £54,053 was spent on fees for agents. There was nothing paid out for the 2020/21 season.

The only teams paying out less than the Gills in League 2, and the rest of the EFL, were Crewe and Newport County.

There were 17 individual transactions for the Gills over the past year, including two for the deal which brought Timothee Dieng (Agents: Mark Wilson/Selim Gaygusuz) to the club from Exeter City. The club paid an undisclosed amount for the midfielder, enough to activate a release clause.

Agent fees were paid also for Will Wright (Elite Management), Scott Kashket (Stellar Football Limited), Shaun Williams (Wayne Henderson), Dominic Jefferies (Richard Pattenden), Jake Turner (Refuel Performance Management), Mikael Mandron (Daniel Williams), Jordan Green (David Jackett - son of Gills' director of football Kenny Jacket), Cheye Alexander (Benjamin Dawson), Lewis Walker (Imre Varadi), Robbie McKenzie (PLG group), Tom Nichols (Unique Sports Management), Oli Hawkins (Unique Sports Management), George Lapslie (Dominic Laughton), Jayden Clarke (Martin Brown) and Ethan Coleman (James Skelland)

League 2's top spender on agents' fees was Stockport County, who spent a whopping £236,944, almost double the amount of the likes of Salford, Mansfield, Leyton Orient and Crawley, who all spent six-figure fees over the year

National League fees for agents was generally lower than the Gills per club but there were some notable exceptions, including table-toppers Wrexham - paying out £163,737. Other top payers included Oldham (£80,7476), Chesterfield (£77,194) and Notts County (£68,379).

In League 1, Derby County spent over £1m but the Premier League spending was huge. Manchester City shelled out over £50m while Chelsea paid out £43m and Liverpool £33m.

Each season the FA publish the payments and transactions involving Intermediaries registered in England in accordance with FIFA's regulations on working with intermediaries.

Transactions involving each intermediary between the dates don't necessarily relate directly to the total payment figure per club. Those payments may have been in relation to transactions that started before February 1, 2022.
