Hibs' Scottish Cup hero David Gray moves into coaching staff
The defender has decided to hang up his boots at the age of 33
Hibernian's David Gray has moved into the club's coaching staff after announcing his retirement from football.
The club captain was their Scottish Cup hero in 2016 when his last gasp-winner at Hampden sealed a dramatic 3-2 win over Rangers.
It ended their 114-year wait to lift the trophy.
Gray has decided to stay at Easter Road after hanging up his boots and has been appointed first-team coach.
The 33-year old will also get a testimonial for his contribution to the club.
"It's been an absolute privilege and honour to play for, and captain, Hibernian,'' Gray told the club's official website.
"Now it's time for me to take the next step in my career and I'd like to thank the gaffer and the club for this opportunity.
"I also want to thank all the players I've played with throughout my time and also a massive thank you to all the supporters for all the support they have given me.''
Head coach Jack Ross said: "I am delighted to welcome Dave to the coaching team at the club.
"Throughout my time here, he has demonstrated brilliant leadership qualities and a desire to learn about the game from a tactical and man management perspective.
"I am excited about helping Dave with the next stage of his career, and look forward to him assisting the staff and myself in raising demands, standards and achievements throughout the season ahead.''
