Dumbarton

On 9 July 2022, Dumbarton announced that they had signed Gray from Broomhill on a free transfer following a trial period.[2][3] Gray scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 victory against Peterhead on his first start in July 2022.[4] Gray scored his first goal in Scottish League Two against Annan Athletic in what became a 4–0 victory for Dumbarton, helping the club match their best league start to a season since 1959. The next week, Gray scored a solo goal in injury-time against Stenhousemuir, carrying the ball from deep in his own half to the opposition penalty area where he had his initial shot deflected by the keeper before scoring the rebound. Gray won the Dumbarton player of the month award for August 2022.[5]
