Stefan Payne

Stefan Payne is a young footballer, whose favoured position is striker and is currently playing for Gillingham.
Playing Career
Payne played for Croydon Youth team during 2008 and 2009 and impressed Sutton United officials during a Youth League game against the team.
In the Summer of 2009 Payne signed a contract with Sutton for the 2009-10 season. He made an immediate impact, scoring a hat-trick in the club's first league game of the season, a 4-0 win over Margate.
He quickly attracted attention from league scouts. In September 2009, Fulham offered Payne and Sutton a contract. It was thought to be worth a six-figure-sum for Sutton.
Although Fulham could not officially sign a player outside the transfer window, Payne joined the Reserve Squad in October. He never played a game for the First Team, but played many for the reserves.
During the 2010 close-season, Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler revealed his eagerness to sign Payne and he joined Gillingham on a free transfer in June 2010, signing a two year deal.
