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 commercial@sheppeyunitedfc.co.uk.
