Gilkes joined Reading from the Leicester City youth system.
He made about 500 club appearances.
Gilkes made only a handful of appearances for Millwall in 2000-01 when he found it difficult to break into a very strong first-team squad.
He played regularly for the reserves where his experience proved invaluable in bringing the youngsters on.
He is a talented winger who still had the ability to take on and beat defenders and tracked back well to help his own back line.
Gilkes made his international debut for Barbados in a World Cup tie against Costa Rica in July 2000 and went on to feature regularly for the Bajan Rockets in their remaining qualifying round games.
He was released by Millwall in the summer of 2001.
