Career
Born in Sheffield, Gregory played for hometown's Sheffield United Academy, but only appeared as a senior with Staveley Miners Welfare, scoring 37 goals in his only season at the club. In September 2009 he signed with Mansfield Town,[3] but after appearing rarely he was loaned to Glapwell (where he scored six goals in a single match – a 7–1 rout against Willenhall Town)[4] and Harrogate Town,[5] respectively.
In the spring of 2010 Gregory was loaned to Halifax Town for the remainder of the season as back-up for the run-in in the eventual Northern Premier League Division One North title winning campaign. He rejoined Halifax permanently in December,[6] being the club's third top scorer behind Jamie Vardy and Danny Holland as Halifax claimed back-to-back titles and promotions.
Gregory finished the 2011–12 campaign in the Conference North as the club's top scorer with 18 league goals, scoring a further 20 in 2012–13 campaign as the Shaymen obtained another promotion. On 30 June 2013 Gregory signed a new two-year deal with Halifax,[7] and finished 2013–14 with 29 league goals under his name, being the division's second top goalscorer.
On 16 June 2014, it was announced that Gregory had signed a three-year deal with Millwall.[8]
