English centre-forward Harry Gray, 17, has joined Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan from Leeds United for the 2026/27 campaign, despite interest from multiple other clubs. Huddersfield Town, another Yorkshire side, was the closest rival to signing the teenager. The League One club's ambition to secure immediate promotion back to the Championship was a significant factor in convincing both Leeds and Gray that Hillsborough was the best option. Gray told the Owls website that although quite a few clubs were interested, it was an easy decision to join such a big club. The England U17 international, for whom he has 5 caps and 1 goal, had a 2025/2026 season in which he scored 9 goals in 14 Premier League 2 games and 8 goals in 11 appearances in the U18 Premier League, in addition to 3 goals in 20 League One appearances. His contract with Leeds United is valid until June 2027, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is currently €700k.
