Gayson Gregory (born 5 April 1982) is an Antiguan and Barbudan footballer who plays for Montreal Impact.

Career

Gregory was named Most Valuable Player of the 1999 season at the Antigua Football Association’s Hall of Fame induction.[1] He joined Trinidadian side Joe Public F.C. in March 2001 to embark a career in professional football, whilst finishing his secondary education.[2] Gregory denied rumours linking him with a move to Hoppers FC in August 2003,[3] but a month later did move to Hoppers.[4] It was revealed in 2005 that Gregory was registered with two teams, Freemansville and Wadadli FC, and that Freemasville had made a request for him to be released from his contracr with Wadadli.[5]

Gregory has been capped by the Antigua and Barbuda national football team, and was joint 7th top scorer of the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup Qualifying with 2 goals.[6]

Gregory scored 13 goals in the Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division in the 2006-07 season.[7] He went for trials with Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest following the closure of the 2006-07 season,[7] and also went on trial with York City after he and Damien Farrell had been recommended by Bryan Hamilton, a consultant for the Antiguan national team.[8] He and Farrell were however sent back to their homeland, but York manager Billy McEwan said said he and Farrell could still be brought back on trial throughout the season.[9]

It was reported that Gregory was to return to England within a few weeks after returning home.[10] He was to return to York City for additional trials before the end of August,[11] but went to play for San Juan Jabloteh for the remainder of their season.[12] He scored only one goal in the Pro League for San Juan, but scored eight goals overall.[13] He joined Montreal Impact in the USL First Division in August 2008.[14]
