Gregory was born in Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands.
Gregory had spells at Birmingham City and Wolverhampton Wanderers at youth level. He joined Shrewsbury Town at under-15 level.[3] He was awarded a scholarship the same year.[3]
On 29 August 2017, whilst still a scholar, Gregory was called up to the first-team squad. He was an unused substitute in a 2–3 away win at Coventry City in the EFL Trophy.[2] He also made the bench in games against West Bromwich Albion U23s and Walsall, also both in the EFL Trophy.[4] For the remainder of the 2017–18 season, he regularly trained with Danny Coyne and the rest of the first-team goalkeepers. In April 2018, Gregory, along with Ryan Sears and Christos Shelis, was offered a professional contract.[5] In May 2018, he signed his first professional contract.[4]
In September 2018, Gregory joined National League South side Chippenham Town on a month-long loan deal.[6] However, just days into the loan, he was recalled due to a training injury to first-team keeper Steve Arnold.[7] A month later in October, Gregory was loaned out once again, this time to Southern League Division One Central side Halesowen Town on a month-long loan.[8]
On 31 July 2019, Gregory joined National League North side Kidderminster Harriers on loan until January 2020.[9] However, on 7 November, he was recalled back to Shrewsbury due to an injury to Max O'Leary.[10]
On 6 March 2020, Gregory was loaned out once again, this time to Northern Premier League side Nantwich Town, joining The Dabbers on a month-long loan.[11] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loan was cut short due to the Northern Premier League season being ended early.
On 30 June 2020, he signed a new deal with his parent club which would keep him at the club until 2022, with the option of a further year.[12]
On 9 October 2020, Gregory moved on loan once again, this time joining Hednesford Town on a month-long deal.[13]
On 29 June 2022, Gregory joined National League North club Kettering Town[14] following his release from Shrewsbury Town at the end of the 2021–22 season.[15]
