FORMER Accrington Stanley boss James Beattie has confirmed that he has applied for the vacant manager’s job at Gillingham.
Beattie left Stanley in September and said: “I’ve applied for the job and am just waiting to hear back from them.
“Hopefully it will be a positive outcome.”
Beattie is currently spending a week with Swansea City shadowing their boss Garry Monk.
“I’m in with Garry and his team this week,” said the former Blackburn Rovers striker.
“I’ve been into a number of different clubs doing the same and seeing if I can pick up any trinkets on information.”
