His most recent managerial role was a short spell with National League South club Eastbourne Borough at the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
In a club statement, external, Gray said: "This is a proper football club and it is one with excellent off-the-pitch facilities. Hopefully we will be able to match that with performances on the pitch."
