 After the conclusion of this loan deal, Gargan then joined Conference National team Lewes on a one-month loan deal, and scored on his debut away at Histon; he then went on to score three goals in six games for "the Rooks".Teammate Michael Standing was full of praise for the youngster, and said "he wins headers and gets hold of the ball" and made "a real difference to us".In January 2009, he transferred to rival Sussex team Eastbourne Borough on a month loan.
