Gray

Archie James Francis Gray (born 12 March 2006) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or defender for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

Club career Leeds United Born in Durham, Gray joined Leeds United at under-9 level. He progressed rapidly through the academy, and an agreement had to be met between Leeds United and Gray's school, the St John Fisher Catholic High School in Harrogate, for Gray to miss classes in order to train with the first team, at the request of then-manager Marcelo Bielsa.

On 18 December 2021, aged 15, Gray was named on the bench for a Premier League game against Arsenal. Had he featured, he would have broken the record for Leeds United's youngest player, set in 1962 by Peter Lorimer. He made the bench a further five times in the 2021–22 season, but did not feature.

He signed a two-year scholarship deal with Leeds United in September 2022.

On 6 August 2023, Gray made his Leeds United and senior debut in the opening game of the 2023–24 EFL Championship season against Cardiff City at Elland Road. Gray appeared 52 times in all competitions as Leeds lost in the playoff final to Southampton. In April 2024, he was awarded the EFL Championship Young Player of the Season.
