Roland Edge
| Date of birth | 25 November 1978 |
| Place of birth | Gillingham |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 73 kg |
| Height | 1.75 m |
| Position | Defender/Left back |
A talented defender, who gained rave reviews in the 1999-2000 campaign, Roland was troubled by a series of niggling injuries during the course of 2000-01 and never really got a decent run in the Gillingham line-up.
Although linked with a big-money move to Premiership Leicester City in the summer, his injuries very much restricted his appearances and nothing materialised.
A promising left back, he has good ball control and neat distribution.
Roland rejoined his former Gillingham boss Peter Taylor at Hull City in July 2004 with a one-year contract that was extended to June 2006 in April 2005.
However, this was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2006.
