Sheppey United have strengthened their squad with the signing of experienced defender Ollie Gray.
A versatile operator capable of playing at both centre-back and right-back, Gray is a well-known figure across the Kent non-league circuit. He brings a reputation for being a physical and reliable defensive anchor, having established himself as a leader during his time with numerous Isthmian League and Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) clubs.
Throughout his extensive career, Gray has become a go-to choice for managers seeking veteran stability and leadership. His resume includes four separate spells at Hythe Town, where he was most recently tasked with anchoring a young squad, as well as significant stints at Whitstable Town. His reputation for a high work ethic and structural defensive impact has also seen him feature for several other notable sides, including Ramsgate FC, Sittingbourne, Faversham Town, Sevenoaks Town, Lordswood, and Snodland Town.
Manager Ian Batten commented:
"Ollie stands out for his excellent communication and aerial dominance. He is a tireless competitor whose dressing room presence and versatility will be highly valuable to this new squad."
Ollie Gray added:
"I’m very happy to be signing for Sheppey this season. It’s a great club with great history. I’m looking forward to the season and meeting the lads. After an on-and-off season last year, I’m fully focused and ready to help Sheppey push on."
Gray will wear the number 15 shirt. Supporters interested in sponsoring him can contact the club via email at [email protected].
@MitchHalley I watched a non league game not too long ago and at the end two of the players were talking with their hands over their mouths like they do a the end of televised premier league game 😂
