The 21-year-old has previous played for the US national team. He revealed that he decided to join the Reggae Boyz because USMNT has overlooked him in recent times.

He said that he is determined to give his best performances to Jamaica. He is ready to fight for a position in the Reggae Boyz set-up. He is hoping that coach Heimir Hallgrimsson will give him an opportunity to prove himself.
Hallgrimsson described Gray as a young player who has a lot of time to prove his worth to the Reggae Boyz. He said that he is pleased that the right back chose to play for the Carribean nation. He said that he appreciates the positive energy that he brings to the squad. This is because Gray is always smiling. Hallgrimsson said that that is a good addition to the talent he will show on the pitch.
Gray said that he is excited about the Reggae Boy’s first game in the Concacaf Nation League. They will face off against Honduras on Friday. Jamaica is hoping to secure maximum points from this game.
