WHO IS HARRY GRAY?

Harry Gray is a 16 year old talent who plays for Leeds United. He's a quality centre-forward with a passionate playstyle. Gray will give 100% on the pitch, chasing every loose ball there is. Despite being 5"11, Gray's feet are some of the best around. His footwork is superb and enjoys utilising his speed and footwork to his advantage. Harry's finishing ability is clinical, It doesn't take him loads of chances to find the net. With Harry being 16, he's only recently signed a scholarship contract with Leeds United. Last season Harry was tearing up the PL2 (U21 Premier League) as an U16 player. Gray already has a squad number for Leeds, 45. He's already made his men's team debut for Leeds at 16 and has been on a few squad tours, but we'll get into that more later on. Harry also is on an Adidas contract.

Gray X Three Lions

GRAY FOR ENGLAND

Gray has represented England at U15, U16 and U17 level so far, which is a quality feat for him at 16. Gray represented England for the U15s team at St George's Park against a Wolves U18 squad. And there was something quite significant about it. As well as his debut for his country, he played with some of England's hottest prospects alongside him such as, Tottenham's Malachi Hardy, Chelsea's Landon Emenalo and Reggie Walsh Man City's Harrison Miles and Finlay Gorman, Manchester United's Amir Ibragimov and Liverpool's Joe Bradshaw and breakout star Rio Ngumoha. Gray then went on to play for England's U16 teams playing in the U16 UEFA Development Tournament in Murcia, Spain. Then Gray would take the furthest step of his England career, an U17 Call up. He played his first games in a 4-0 and a 3-2 win over The Netherlands in Portugal. However Gray was not involved in the qualifying squads for the U17 Euros but his Leeds U21 form was enough to ensure his seat on the plane to Albania for the Euros. England would underperform at the tournament but one thing was for sure, Gray did himself proud by scoring vs Czech Republic in a 4-2 hammering. Not only doing himself proud, but making his team Leeds United proud.

The Gray Family have certainly left their footprints on Leeds United

A FAMILY IN FOOTBALL

The Gray surname is surname known in every Leeds United household. The Gray's have left their mark on the club over a series of years. First is Eddie, a club legend who played from 1965-1984 and went on to manage Leeds. Eddie played for Leeds in the glory days, a golden era at Leeds. Eddie's brother, Frank played for Leeds in 2 spells and won a league title in 1974. Andy, Frank's son also played for Leeds but with less distinction. Andy's first son, Archie is a well known figure at Leeds. Playing all through the academy and representing England through many age groups and is now at Tottenham Hotspur and is an England U21, he is Harry's brother. So overall, a pretty successful family in football!

The Goal Machine

GRAY IN THE LEEDS ACADEMY

Gray joined the Leeds United academy at 8 years old and eight years later would go on to sign his scholarship. Gray has scored over 100 goals in the academy over the years. Harry made his U18 debut for Leeds at 14 years old against Sunderland and scored also. A Leeds record at 14 years and 361 days, he was an U15 at the time. Gray won the U15 PL Floodlit Cup North with Leeds defeating Wigan Athletic in the final and then faced Chelsea in the North Vs South final but were defeated. A few ballers in that team such as Oliver Boast at Spurs, Sam Alker and Jake Howard who are still at Leeds and have both represented England. Gray was then injured for a lengthy amount of time before he came back for his U21 debut Vs Everton. He then scored his first goals a couple of weeks after Vs Derby County. Then Gray played in the National League Cup final, where Leeds would defeat Sutton United in the final and Gray scored, being one of the youngest scorers in the competition. Gray has picked up from where he left off last season as Leeds U21s played their first game of the PL2 season defeating Aston Villa 3-0 at Bodymoor Heath and Gray was on the scoresheet twice. Below is his brace Vs Villa. In Gray's U15 season, Tottenham, Newcastle and Arsenal all vied for his signature but Gray stuck with Leeds.

THE MEMORABLE MOMENT

After Gray absolutely tearing up the PL2, a moment that was a long time coming, Gray received his men's team call up in a promotion match Vs Stoke City where if Leeds won and Sheffield United lost away to Burnley, Leeds would be a Premier League side next season. Leeds won 6-0 with Gray replacing Brendan Aaronson in the 86th minute and a promotion party was on afterwards where the players and fans partied into the night. With Gray being at the front of the celebrations. He was also on the bench Vs Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle but didn't come on but was still partying with the players.

GRAY THIS SEASON: 25/26

Gray and Leeds boss Daniel Farke

Gray has already been involved with the men's team in pre season. He's played against Verl, Paderborn, Manchester United, AC Milan and Villarreal. Coming on and gaining valuable experience with the Prem squad. Farke recently said in an interview that 'The plan is to move the focus away from him and not speak about him too much'. 'It's difficult when you have that second name at Leeds United'. 'My message is give him time to grow and develop'. Let's see how Harry gets on in the 25/26 season. I think he'll play at the U17 World Cup for England in November. REMEMBER THE NAME.

LUCAS PERRI - GK A really positive performance for Perri. A clean sheet on your debut, you can't ask for more than that. Despite a low, tense scoreline, Perri didn't have all that much to do to be fair. Perri was called into action early on after a dodgy back pass from Joe Rodon and Perri was not expecting it. Perri's big moment came later on as Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall spun Brenden Aaronson down the right wing and laid it off to Alcaraz who shot at Perri's front post however he parried

Who Is Tottenham And England's Rising Star Luca Williams-Barnett?
WHO IS HE? Luca Williams-Barnett is one of the hottest prospects in England right now, with many saying he's arguably the best 16 year old in the country. Luca plays in the Tottenham academy at the moment and he is making waves. At just 16, he's already been in with the men's team and the U21's. He is an attacking minded player who resides in either the CAM position or on either wing. Luca is one of very few players who I've seen who is two footed.
