Career

Gregory had spells at Birmingham City and Wolverhampton Wanderers at youth level. He joined Shrewsbury Town at under-15 level.[2] He was awarded a scholarship the same year.[2]

On 29 August 2017, whilst still a scholar, Gregory was called up to the first-team squad. He was an unused substitute in a 2–3 away win at Coventry City in the EFL Trophy.[1] He also made the bench in games against West Bromwich Albion U23s and Walsall, also both in the EFL Trophy.[3] For the remainder of the 2017–18 season, he regularly trained with Danny Coyne and the rest of the first-team goalkeepers. In April 2018, Gregory, along with Ryan Sears and Christos Shelis, was offered a professional contract.[4] In May 2018, he signed his first professional contract.[3]

In September 2018, Gregory joined National League South side Chippenham Town on a month-long loan deal.[5] However, just days into the loan, he was recalled due to a training injury to first-team keeper Steve Arnold.[6] A month later in October, Gregory was loaned out once again, this time to Southern League Division One Central side Halesowen Town on a month-long loan.[7]

On 31 July 2019, Gregory joined National League North side Kidderminster Harriers on loan until January 2020.[8] However, on 7 November, he was recalled back to Shrewsbury due to an injury to Max O'Leary.[9]

On 6 March 2020, Gregory was loaned out once again, this time to Northern Premier League side Nantwich Town, joining The Dabbers on a month-long loan.[10] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loan was cut short due to the Northern Premier League season being ended early.

On 30 June 2020, he signed a new deal with his parent club which would keep him at the club until 2022, with the option of a further year.[11]

gollark: Okay, that probably explains it.
gollark: Give it more random access RAM memory.
