Alexander George Bray (born 30 March 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Rotherham United.
Club career
Swansea City
Bray joined Swansea City academy at the age of 15 following his release from Swindon Town.[1] Bray signed his first professional contract in June 2013 and was included in Swansea City's 2014/15 pre-season squad.[2]
After returning to training in March 2015, Bray was ruled out for a further nine months with injury.[3] In July 2015, Bray signed a one-year contract extension with Swansea, keeping him at the club until June 2016.[4]
Bray returned from injury in February 2016, and earned a one-year contract extension until June 2017.[5]
Plymouth Argyle (loan)
On 1 September 2014, Bray joined League Two team Plymouth Argyle on loan until 10 January 2015.[1] Bray made his professional debut on 6 September 2014 as a 58th-minute substitute for Jason Banton. Bray had an eventful debut, earning a yellow card and playing a part in Plymouth's goal before suffering an injury after just 11 minutes on the pitch.[6] It was later confirmed that Bray had suffered a ruptured anterior ligament which would require surgery. Bray returned to Swansea City for treatment.[7]
Rotherham United
On 27 January 2017, Bray joined Championship team Rotherham United, initially on loan until 9 June 2017.[8] On 10 March 2017 the loan was made permanent for an undisclosed fee, with Bray signing a contract until the end of the 2018–19 season.[9]
Forest Green Rovers (loan)
Having failed to make a league appearance for Rotherham United since the start of the season, Bray joined Forest Green Rovers on loan for the remainder of the campaign on 31 January 2018. [10]

Bray has represented Wales at under-19 level.[1]
