Essam was on loan at Kenilworth Road earlier in the campaign, making nine appearances before returning to Gillingham, where he has since been told he can leave on a free transfer.
Speaking exclusively to the News/Gazette, Buckle said: “I’ve not moved on anything like that because the game’s are coming up, but I like Connor.”
