Gregory "Greg" Strong (born 5 September 1975 in Bolton) is an English professional footballer who is player-manager for Rhyl. He is a defender.
A former England schoolboy and youth international, Strong started his footballing career with Wigan Athletic in 1992. He then moved to hometown club Bolton Wanderers, but after failing to establish himself in the first team he moved north of the border to play for Motherwell.
He returned to England in 2002 when he was signed up by Hull City. Strong also had loan spells with Cheltenham Town, Scunthorpe United, Bury and Macclesfield Town before moving north again to sign for Livingston in 2005.
Strong joined Dundee in August 2006 after being released by Livingston. However, he was released by Dundee in late 2006, and on 8 March 2007, he was signed by Halifax Town. He scored a goal on his debut for the Shaymen after just four minutes, but was released by the club at the end of the season, joining Northwich. Greg left Northwich at the beginning of 2008–09 season, joining Welsh Premier Club, Rhyl. In the summer of 2009, he was appointed as player-manager at Rhyl.
