A constant threat in front of goal

The 6'5" Gray, who was born on 19.02.2007 in Kingston, Jamaica, began his football training at Weißenseer FC before moving to Union in 2020.

Once in Köpenick, he went through the U-17s and U-19s teams, becoming a key player in their attacking games. Gray has been a regular goalscorer in recent seasons and has gained important playing time at a high level. In his last year as a youth player, he scored eleven times in 15 appearances.

The reactions to the contract extension

“I am very proud to be able to continue my journey at Union," said a delighted Gray on the signing of his new deal. "The club have given me a lot of trust over the past few years and has supported me on my path. That I continue to have the chance to prove myself in the professional arena and develop at a high level means a tremendous lot to me. I will continue to work hard to improve step by step and contribute to the club.”

“Mekhi has made very good progress in our youth system and has made a lasting impression with his performances," said Union's director of men's professional football, Horst Heldt, on the striker. "In recent months, he has also left a positive impression around the first team. With the contract extension, we want to closely accompany his further path and provide him with the best possible conditions to take the next step in his development.”
