Personal Life

Professional background
In 2012, Jonny Gray was announced in the Scotland national under-20 rugby union team for the 2012 Six Nations Under-20s Championship and retained his position for the 2013 season where he was named captain.
In 2013, he was offered a full-time contract for three years,[2] which was followed by his inclusion in a 41-man squad for Scotland's senior side in the 2013 end-of-year rugby union tests.[3]
Gray played in every match for Scotland during the 2015 6 Nations, attempting an astonishing 85 tackles in total and missing only one.[4] Subsequently he was selected in Scotland's 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, playing four of their five matches in the run to the Quarter-Finals.
Domestically, the 2014–15 season saw Gray play a prominent role in Glasgow Warriors' maiden Pro12 title triumph.
At just 21 years of age, Gray was named captain of Glasgow Warriors in November 2015, taking over from recently-retired mentor Alastair Kellock.[5]
