Tony Mowbray favourite in talks over next transfer after Sunderland release
Dack has held talks with a new club over a summer move
Former Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers forward Bradley Dack has had talks with League One Gillingham. The 30-year-old attacking midfielder was released by the Black Cats this summer.
He was signed by Sunderland under ex-head coach Tony Mowbray 12 months ago but injuries hamper his one-season stay on Wearside before his eventual departure from the Stadium of Light.
The former Gillingham man, who was rumoured to be earning around £15k-per-week at Sunderland, made just 16 Championship appearances under Mowbray, Michael Beale and later Mike Dodds. After his release, however, Dack has spoken to his former club.

Speaking to Kent Online, Mark Bonner, the Gillingham boss, previously at Cambridge United, said: “I have spoken to him [Dack] but I have spoken to a lot of players in the last 10 days, so nothing other than some conversations. There is no more than that at the moment.
“We are looking to add in attacking positions, we are looking to add potentially in midfield because at the moment we are light but Robbie [McKenzie] has done really well in there.
“We have got lots to add to the squad at the moment but there is no real news on anybody coming in, nothing is imminent, but I have had a number of conversations with players that potentially we could add, just to find out if there is interest, if I like them, if I think they can come and make us better.
“Those conversations go on all the time and he is one of many that I have met in recent weeks.”
