I want to continue working and get more opportunities when the season starts".[5] He made his league debut in a 4–0 win over Maidenhead United.[6] Grey got his first senior goal in a 6–0 thrashing of Northern Premier League team Ilkeston Town in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.[7] Grey's first league goal came in a 2–1 defeat to Eastleigh.[8] He was part of the Hartlepool United squad that gained promotion to League Two in the 2020–21 season.[9][10]
