Harry Gray relishes loan demands as Leeds striker embraces family legacy | OneFootball

Leeds United’s 17-year-old striker Harry Gray is in his second loan spell, spending this season with League One promotion chasers Sheffield Wednesday. The younger brother of Tottenham’s Archie progressed through Leeds’ Academy and is currently with England’s under-19s. His footballing relatives include dad Andy, great-uncle Eddie and grandad Frank.

“Every time I see them, they’re telling me stories.” He told England’s official website.

After reaching the fringes of Leeds’ first team, Gray took his first loan in January with Rotherham United until season’s end. He made 20 appearances as the Millers were relegated to League Two. That spell threw him into a survival fight and its consequences for people’s jobs.

He joined Wednesday on a season-long deal at the start of July and is approaching his fourth month there. The striker has made six appearances for the Owls, taking his senior loan tally to 26.

“I went to quite a few clubs before I was nine, then signed at Leeds at nine. I’ve since been on loan twice.”

“He was under-16s and I was under-13s and we played against Leicester. That’s the only time.”

“I loved it last year at Rotherham.” “It was tough but I was playing every game. It’s competitive, you’re playing for people’s jobs and it means more to people. There’s more expectation and I enjoy that.”
