The 2022-23 campaign delivered a tense, dramatic year for Gillingham as The Gills battled for survival in their first season back in League Two. Under manager Neil Harris, the season was defined by a stunning second-half surge, spearheaded by the pivotal January signing of forward Tom Nichols, whose crucial goals propelled the club away from the relegation zone to a final, safe 17th-place finish. Beyond the grit of the league fight, The Gills enjoyed memorable cup runs, reaching the Fourth Round of the EFL Cup and the Third Round of the FA Cup, which saw them host Premier League side Leicester City in front of the highest attendance of the season. This hard-fought campaign, marked by a transformative mid-season overhaul, remains a significant chapter in the club's history of resilience.
