Andre Anthony Gray (born 26 June 1991) is a professional footballer who plays a centre-forward for EFL League One club Port Vale. Born in England, he represented the Jamaica national team, playing in the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He married Leigh-Anne Pinnock, from the British girl group Little Mix, in 2023.
Gray moved from the Academy at hometown club Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Shrewsbury Town youth system at age 13. He turned professional there in 2009, and following loan spells in non-League football with AFC Telford United and Hinckley United, he joined Hinckley United permanently in June 2010. He scored 37 goals in 85 club appearances, winning a £30,000 move to Luton Town in May 2012. During the 2013–14 campaign, he was the top scorer in the Conference Premier, also being named on the Team of the Season as Luton secured a return to the English Football League as Conference champions. He was capped six times by England C during his time at Luton, scoring two goals. He was sold to Brentford of the Championship for an undisclosed fee in June 2014.
He was sold to Burnley for a club-record £6 million in August 2015. He was named the Championship Player of the Year for the 2015–16 season after he top-scored with 30 goals, winning a place on the Team of the Season as Burnley were promoted as champions. He scored 10 goals in 36 games in the following campaign, including a Premier League hat-trick, to help Burnley to avoid relegation with a 16th-place finish. He was sold to Watford for an undisclosed fee in August 2017. He played for Watford in the 2019 FA Cup final, though the club were relegated from the Premier League the following season. He spent the 2021–22 season on loan at Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers. He then had short stays with Aris (Greece), Al-Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Plymouth Argyle, Fatih Karagümrük (Turkey), and Port Vale.
