He left the club eight years ago to join Blackburn Rovers in a deal worth a cool £1million.
He'd move to Sunderland in the summer of 2023 on a free transfer but would leave the Stadium of Light the following year on a free.
His exit from Wearside paved the way for an emotional return to Gillingham.
Upon the announcement of his return, Dack said: "I can't wait to get going, to be honest.

Premier League TV viewers down after boring end to the season
TV viewer numbers for Premier League matches dropped last season after two previous record-breaking years, due in part to a lack of a close title race or relegation battle. Sky Sports viewing numbers were down 10 per cent last season to be broadly in line with the 2021-22 campaign. TNT Sports' Saturday 12.30pm kick-off showed a 5 per cent drop on the 2023-24 season, and a 17 per cent drop with the two full midweek rounds included. The numbers were presented to Premier League clubs at their annual meeting last week. Clubs were told Liverpool's romp to the title without a serious challenge from Arsenal or Manchester City meant viewer numbers dropped off particularly over the last six weeks of the season — until then they had been close to the 2023-24 season. The lack of a compelling relegation battle also affected interest towards the end of the campaign with Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton effectively guaranteed to go down a couple of months before the end of the season. There may also have been more competition from other matches on TV with Sky streaming a record number of EFL games. Statistics sent out to the clubs in the 2023-24 season showed Sky Sports' average match viewership up by 4.1 per cent to 1.78million, with TNT Sports up 14 per cent to an average of 1.15million viewers. Next season will see even more live Premier League matches on TV when a new broadcast deal starts. Sky will show at least 215 top-flight matches live, up from 128, including all games moved to Sundays because of clubs' involvement in European competitions. TNT Sports will retain 52 games including the Saturday 12.30pm kick-offs and two midweek rounds. For the first time in six years, Amazon Prime will have no Premier League rights meaning there will be two rather than three subscriptions for viewers to pay. Insiders at broadcasters hope that fact plus the extra number of matches — every game not kicking off during the Saturday afternoon blackout will be available live — will cut the number of people using pirate streams to watch games. Anecdotal evidence shows that some fans are frustrated by being unable to watch their teams' matches via the broadcasters and seek out illegal streams instead. In February, Sky Sports' chief operating officer Nick Herm called on Amazon to crack down on illegal streaming by adding tougher controls to its fire sticks, estimating that these were indirectly to blame for approximately half of illegal streaming of Premier League matches in the UK. Research by the company Enders Analysis said Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft have been guilty of 'ambivalence and inertia' over the problem. Amazon has said it remains 'vigilant in our efforts to combat piracy'. The new Premier League TV deal is the first one to run over four years instead of three and is worth a total of £6.7billion, which includes £300million from the BBC for Match of the Day highlights.

Olivia Attwood admits it's 'difficult' finding the space for quality time with husband Bradley Dack in her busy work schedule
Olivia Attwood has admitted that it's 'difficult' finding the space for quality time with her husband Bradley Dack in her busy work schedule. The former Love Island star, 34, married the Gillingham midfielder, 31, in 2023 and has now opened up on how she juggles her career and relationship. This year Olivia has been busy filming the second series of her show Bad Boyfriends in Greece, appearing on Loose Women as a panellist and recording her hit podcast. Now she has spoken to Heat magazine candidly about how she makes her marriage work. She said: 'It's difficult I'm not going to lie. We've just had a nice few weeks - he came out to visit me on set. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The former Love Island star, 34, married the Gillingham midfielder, 31, in 2023 and has now opened up on how she juggles her career and relationship 'We'll have a little holiday together in a couple of weeks. 'When we are together we make that time valuable, which I think you end up doing when you have less time together because you know you can't take it for granted.' In the interview Olivia also spoke about how she is 'more careful' about having cosmetic surgery since filming The Price of Perfection. The 34-year-old TV personality has undergone a range of procedures since she was in her 20s, including breast augmentation and reduction, Botox and fillers. But doing her ITV1 beauty docuseries has given Olivia an 'awakening' in what she has put her body through over the years. In an interview with Heat magazine, the star explained: 'Being on the other side of things was an awakening because it made me understand these procedures are major surgeries.' The former Love Island contestant has ruled out becoming a cosmetic surgeon or an aesthetics provider because it is out of her 'intellectual remit'. Olivia also admitted she was 'naïve' about how weight-loss injections can affect people, but she got an understanding of how the jabs work in the new series of The Price of Perfection. Now she has spoken to Heat magazine candidly about how she makes her marriage work. She said: 'It's difficult I'm not going to lie' And Olivia has never been tempted to use weight-loss injections because she wants more curves on her body. Olivia's new interview comes after she brushed off the backlash surrounding her recent TikTok posts. Olivia accused TikTok subscribers of 'lacking humour' and 'taking things way too seriously' as she suffered backlash for a perceived swipe at former boyfriend Chris Hughes, 32, and his new relationship. The TV personality began a year-long romance with Chris on the third series of Love Island before meeting and subsequently marrying Gillingham footballer Bradley. But she has attracted criticism across social media for appearing to poke fun at her former boyfriend's surprise relationship with JoJo Siwa, 22, after he bonded with the American influencer on the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother. Responding to the backlash last Wednesday, Olivia claimed it reflected her critics' lack of humour and inability to understand sarcasm. She said: 'I feel like on Instagram my huns always pass the vibe check, they know my sense of humour. On TikTok, it feels like everyone takes everything so literally. 'There's no nuance, there's no sense of humour, and I kind of feel if you've got no sense of humour then that's on you, it's not really a me problem, you know? She added: 'If you can't tell when I'm saying something sarcastically, I don't know what to tell you. 'People always ask me how I manage in this industry for eight years with social media and stuff, and the telly stuff and whatever. Literally, my only piece of advice is don't deep it. Nothing is ever that deep. 'If you've got your health, if you've got a roof over your head, it's not that deep. None of us are getting out of here alive guys, let's just try and have some fun. 'People are having full-on Thread conversations about me, discussing something that's not even true. It's so twisted. And if I was to comment, they'd be like "How dare you defend yourself? You're so mean."' Since meeting as contestants on Celebrity Big Brother in April, Chris and JoJo have been inseparable, but Olivia has been critical of her former boyfriend's unexpected new romance. Responding to a question on TikTok, one user asked: 'I'm sorry, I need to know what's Olivia Attwood's reaction to this Chris and JoJo thing.' Olivia then gave a cutting one-liner and wrote in the caption: 'She's really famous,' hinting that she believes he is only dating the influencer because of her celebrity status.
