Jonny Gray (born 14 March 1994 in Rutherglen, Scotland) is a Scotland international rugby union player. He plays at lock for Glasgow Warriors in the Pro14.[1]
Rugby Union career
Amateur career
Gray started playing rugby at Calderglen High School, East Kilbride.[2]
He is the younger brother of Scottish and British and Irish Lion international Richie Gray.[3]
Gray has been drafted to Currie in the Scottish Premiership for the 2017-18 season.[4]
Professional career
In 2013, he was offered a full-time contract for three years by Glasgow Warriors[3]
Domestically, the 2014–15 season saw Gray play a prominent role in Glasgow Warriors' maiden Pro12 title triumph.
At just 21 years of age, Gray was named captain of Glasgow Warriors in November 2015, taking over from recently retired mentor Alastair Kellock.[5] He became a co-captain with Henry Pyrgos for the 2016-17 season but following the arrival of Dave Rennie as Warriors Head Coach the club has reverted back to a sole captaincy. For the 2017-18 season Rennie named Ryan Wilson as captain though Gray remains in the leadership group.[6]
International career
In 2012, Jonny Gray was announced in the Scotland national under-20 rugby union team for the 2012 Six Nations Under-20s Championship and retained his position for the 2013 season where he was named captain.[citation needed]
In 2013 he was included in a 41-man squad for Scotland's senior side in the 2013 end-of-year rugby union tests.[7]
Gray played in every match for Scotland during the 2015 6 Nations, attempting an astonishing 85 tackles in total and missing only one.[8] Subsequently, he was selected in Scotland's 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, playing four of their five matches in the run to the Quarter-Finals.
As of November 2017, Gray has scored four tries for Scotland, including scores in consecutive weeks against the All Blacks and Australia during the Autumn Internationals[9][10]
