Portsmouth unveil signing of ex-Gillingham and Spurs left-back Connor Ogilvie

The 25-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal, with the Blues also holding an option on the former Spurs apprentice.

As reported by The News earlier today, Danny Cowley had identified Ogilvie to provide left-back competition for Lee Brown.

He had turned down a new deal at Gillingham to become a free transfer this summer, yet continued to train with Steve Evans’ side during pre-season.

As a result, Ogilvie twice turned out for the Gills in summer friendlies, most recently against Millwall last Tuesday.

The defender is Cowley’s ninth signing of the transfer window, with the League One season kicking off on Saturday at Fleetwood.
