Club career

Birmingham City

Early life and career

Unarguably, Demarai Remelle Gray was born in Birmingham, where he attended Frankley High School and played for Cadbury Athletic’s junior teams. The young star joined Birmingham City’s Academy as an under-11, and took up a two-year scholarship in July 2012.Information Guide Nigeria

Regular first-team football

As per BBC report, Gray performed well in 2014–15 pre-season, and the management suggested he was showing increased maturity. The winger started the first two matches of the season, but for the remainder of Clark’s tenure as manager, Gray was used more as substitute than starter. In a match against Leeds United in September, he was denied a penalty and booked for diving when apparently fouled by Giuseppe Bellusci; both managers thought it the wrong decision. A week later, his first goal of the season gave Birmingham a 2–0 lead at top-of-the-table Norwich City, but he became unwell in the second half. Norwich scored while Birmingham were attempting to substitute him, and the match ended 2–2.Information Guide Nigeria

The young star received his first call-up to the under-19s for a friendly against Germany in September 2014, and made his debut as a second-half substitute.
