David Peter Gray (born 4 May 1988) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a right-back for Hibernian, where he is also the current club captain. He represented Scotland at both under-19 and under-21 level.
Gray progressed through Heart of Midlothian's youth system, before joining Manchester United for a fee of £50,000 in 2004. He spent six years at Manchester United, making one first-team appearance in a League Cup fixture in 2006. During his six-year tenure with the club, Gray was loaned on four separate occasions; spending time at Royal Antwerp, Crewe Alexandra, as well as two loan spells at Plymouth Argyle. Gray was released by Manchester United in 2010 and then signed for Preston North End. Gray spent two seasons at Preston, before being released at the end of the 2011–12 season. He then had spells at Stevenage and Burton Albion before signing for Hibs in 2014.
Prior to his second season at the club, Gray was given the captain's armband by Hibs manager Alan Stubbs, taking over from Liam Craig. Gray wrote himself into club folklore in May 2016 when he scored the winning goal in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers to give Hibs their first Scottish Cup win since 1902.
