He scored his first goals for the club on 29 August with a hat-trick against Bromley. After scoring 15 goals in 33 games for Eastleigh, he was linked with a move back to the English Football League after Championship side Wigan Athletic had an undisclosed offer accepted by Eastleigh.

He scored his first goal for Gillingham in an EFL Trophy tie against former club Colchester United on 3 September 2019. He scored six goals during the 2019–20 season, including a brace at former club Sunderland on 7 March 2020 in what would be the last game the Kent side played before the season was curtailed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Crewe struggled the following season but Mandron was again the club's leading scorer, with nine goals in all competitions, before incurring a knee injury against Gillingham at Priestfield on 1 February 2022, potentially sidelining him for "an extended period", though a subsequent scan proved it to be less serious than initially feared.
