Gray suffered an achilles tendon injury during a friendly game against Willem II in January 2018, which meant that he did not make another first-team appearance in the 2017–18 season. Gray returned to the Hibs first team in July 2018, and he scored five goals during the early part of the 2018–19 season. In April 2019, Hibs and Gray agreed a new contract that was due to run until 2023. Gray played infrequently for Hibs over the next two seasons.

He was called up once again later that year, and was an unused substitute in a 1–0 defeat to Austria. A month later, he made his second appearance for the U21 side, playing 67 minutes of a 1–0 home victory against Belarus. Coaching career Gray retired from playing in June 2021, and became a first-team coach at Hibs.
