“To be honest”- Leeds Wonderkid Harry Gray Breaks Silence – Tells Farke Exactly What He Wants Next
Harry Gray’s Breakthrough Week at Leeds United: A Debut, a Trophy, and a Family Legacy
It’s been a whirlwind week for Harry Gray, who marked a major milestone in his young career by making his Leeds United debut and celebrating promotion—all within just a few days.
Gray, the latest talent to emerge from the iconic Gray footballing family, came off the bench late in Leeds’ emphatic 6-0 victory over Stoke City—a match that sealed the club’s return to the Premier League following Sheffield United’s defeat to Burnley.
With that appearance, the 16-year-old became the fifth member of his family to don the Leeds shirt, following in the footsteps of his great-uncle Eddie, grandfather Frank, father Andy, and brother Archie.
The moment was especially emotional, as Harry jogged onto the pitch with a smile, while Eddie Gray was seen wiping away tears in the directors’ box.
Though he remained on the bench during Leeds’ 4-0 win over Bristol City, Gray will be hoping for another opportunity when Leeds face Plymouth on Saturday, with the Championship title still up for grabs.
Gray Sends a Message to Farke After Cup-Winning Performance
On Tuesday, Gray further showcased his potential by scoring the winning goal for Leeds’ U21s in their 2-1 National League Cup final win over Sutton United. Diogo Monteiro opened the scoring before Gray netted the decisive goal in the 56th minute.
Speaking to LUTV after the match, Gray reflected on a memorable week:
“Yeah, I’m enjoying it.
It’s been a good week, to be honest. I just want more—I want to keep scoring goals, but hopefully in the first team next year, prove myself.”
A Debut Long in the Making for the 16-Year-Old Prospect
Despite being just 16, Gray’s first-team debut has felt like a long time coming. Last summer, then just 15, he was one of six academy players taken to Germany for pre-season training by manager Daniel Farke, joining the likes of Luca Thomas and Rory Mahady.
However, an injury sidelined Gray for much of the first half of the season.
He’s since bounced back strongly, making his mark with the U21s and impressing in first-team training—culminating in his debut against Stoke.
Some around the club have even suggested that Harry could eventually surpass his brother Archie in terms of ability and potential.
If he can live up to that promise, his rise would be a huge asset for Leeds United as they return to the Premier League.
