Gray began his career with Wrexham, and spent loan spells at Rhyl and Cefn Druids.[4] He moved to Everton in 2015, and spent a loan spell at Colwyn Bay in October 2015.[5] He moved on loan to Carlisle United in January 2018.[6]

He was released by Everton at the end of the 2017–18 season.[7] He signed for Nuneaton Borough in August 2018.[8] He returned to Carlisle United in October 2018,[9] signing a new contract a week later keeping him at the club until January 2019.[10] In December 2018 he signed a further contract extension, until the end of the 2018–19 season.[11] He was offered a new contract by Carlisle at the end of the 2018–19 season.[12] He made his senior debut for the club on 15 October 2019, in the EFL Trophy.[13]
