Archie Gray has received all the attention thus far in terms of a young player breaking in at Leeds United this season, but younger brother Harry is someone to watch, according to Phil Hay of The Athletic.
At the still extraordinarily young age of 17, older brother Archie has excelled. He played on the right side of the defense on Saturday, which was out of position, yet he was likely our best player.
It is detracting attention from younger brother Harry, who, at the age of just 14, is starting to establish a name for himself in the Under-18 division. Last week, he made his debut as a substitute in Sunderland’s 4-3 defeat.
He scored on Wearside after coming off the bench. In a 3-1 loss to Wolves the following day, he started and finished for the 18s, scoring his second goal for Leeds. Leeds undoubtedly have more family talent.
The Gray family has a very powerful bloodline. Archie and Harry’s grandfather Frank Gray, great-uncle Eddie Gray, and their father Andy were all Leeds players. Archie and Harry are now. Says Hay
Harry is another person who has been mentioned frequently as having tremendous talent and a ton of potential. As you’ve seen, Archie has excellent self-management skills.
“He lives the way a football player must. Despite his youth, he is a true professional. He looks motivated to grow and improve, which I think is in the Gray genes. There are high expectations for each of them.
Harry Gray is a player to watch in Leeds, according to Phil Hay
Archie had his breakthrough before his time, and now that Harry is only 15 years old, he is scoring goals for the 18’s. Not just Harry’s early success at this young age, but also the bloodline, are pretty astounding. Productive.
If Gray keeps doing as well for the reserves as he has for the reserves, he will be pushing for a U21 debut at current rate. Gray has four caps for England’s U15 team. What a gift. Now is the time to nurture him.
