Scott Gregory (born 7 January 1999) is a New Zealand rugby union player who plays for Zebre in the United Rugby Championship.[1][2]
Early career
[edit]Gregory was sighted at an early age, securing a three-year deal with Northland for the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup at the age of 18. Gregory had a breakthrough year in 2018 which started with the Whangārei teen being selected and playing in all five of the New Zealand national under-20 rugby union team’s matches at the World Rugby Under 20 Championship. Gregory then returned to New Zealand and played a starring role in the Northland campaign, debuting off the bench in the first round and going on to play 10 matches. The young Northland star was later selected as a member of the New Zealand national rugby sevens team in the 2019 season, playing in several tournaments throughout the year and even debuting on the World Rugby Sevens Series in a championship win in Dubai.[3][4] From 2020 to 2023, he was named in the Highlanders squad. He played also for Southland in the Bunnings NPC.[5][6][7]
Gregory signed for Zebre Parma in June 2023 ahead of the 2023–24 United Rugby Championship. He made his debut in Round 1 of the 2023–24 season against the Ulster.[8]
