Gayson Gregory (born 5 April 1982) is an Antiguan footballer who plays for Antigua Barracuda FC in the USL Professional Division and the Antigua and Barbuda national team.

Club career

Born in Bolands,[1] Gregory was named Most Valuable Player of the 1999 season at the Antigua Football Association’s Hall of Fame induction.[2] He joined Trinidadian side Joe Public F.C. in March 2001 to embark a career in professional football, whilst completing his secondary education.[3] Gregory denied rumours linking him with a move to Hoppers FC in August 2003,[4] but a month later did move to Hoppers.[5] It was revealed in 2005 that Gregory was registered with two teams, Freemansville and Wadadli FC, and that Freemansville had made a request for him to be released from his contract with Wadadli.[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 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 four goals 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] but left in January 2009 to rejoin Freemansville.[15]

International career

Nicknamed Bubbler,[16] Gregory earned his first cap for Antigua and Barbuda in 2000.[1] He was joint seventh top scorer of the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup Qualifying with two goals.[17] He has participated in nine FIFA World Cup qualification games,[18] and was part of the Antigua squad which took part in the final stages of the 2010 Caribbean Championship.
