The 22-year-old Gills striker was jailed for 18 months in May for handling a stolen car but he was released after an appeal on Wednesday.

"Marlon is free because of his good behaviour and because he's worked with the authorities. We're delighted," said Gillingham chairman Paul Scally.

"It wasn't totally expected, we hoped it would happen.

"No doubt Marlon will also be very pleased and will get back to what he does best, which is scoring goals for us in the First Division."
