Troy Gray was drafted by the Sydney Swans at the end of 1991. He played over 50 AFL games with the Swans before being traded to St. Kilda following the 1996 season. Troy spent the 1997 AFL season based in Melbourne with the Saints. In 1998 Troy, aged 25, exited the AFL system and moved to Adelaide. He played the year in the SANFL with West Adelaide, however after succumbing to serious ankle and knee injuries, Troy retired from football.

In 1999 Troy ventured into the radio industry and commenced employment with Triple M. Troy spent a couple of years with Triple M and during this period performed several roles including co-hosting a nightly radio program, hosting the pre-breakfast shift, producing the breakfast program and became an integral member of the Triple M AFL commentary team.

The lure of television soon overpowered Troy and he started TV work with Channel 7 Adelaide. Again, Troy displayed the ability to adapt to a number of new roles. In 2000 and 2001 Troy combined his radio commitments with the responsibility of on-air roles with Channel 7. These television roles comprised of stints as a member of the "Footy Plus" sports panel, co-hosting Redfest (the Official Olympic opening ceremony concert), co-hosting the morning lifestyle program "AM Adelaide".

By 2002 Troy was working with Triple M Melbourne, MC of various corporate and sports events, travelling the country with former AFL star Robert "Dipper" Dipierdominico as host of a 'Handball' competition, appearing in local and national television commercials, working with the pay TV "Fox Footy Channel", and had left Channel 7 to establish a career with Channel 9 as host of the "Building Ideas" series.

2003 was a huge year for Troy. He continued scoring national television advertising roles and his work as an MC flourished. Troy then branched out into television production and formed the "Feeling Good" program on Channel 9 South Australia. His role as founder and Executive Producer of the "Feeling Good" television concept proved a winner! Feeling Good screened two series in 2003 and Troy has recently signed a contract with the Channel 9 management to televise a further 24 episodes in 2004. In addition to hosting Feeling Good, Troy will also continue his role as co-host of another hugely successful Channel 9 series "Building Ideas".

In 2003 Troy remained an integral member of the Fox Footy commentary team. By mid 2003 Troy was getting plenty of extra work via television commercials and photo shoots, and it was inevitable that the acting bug would soon hit. In October of 2003, Troy scored an acting role on McLeod's Daughters playing "Jack McLeod". Jack McLeod was originally played by Australian acting legend Jack Thompson (Troy's scenes appear as flashbacks to when "Jack McLeod" was younger and working hard to establish the McLeods farm etc).

In 2004 Troy Gray will continue to host "Feeling Good" and "Building Ideas" on Channel 9, as well as present on-air with the Fox Footy Channel. Troy is also working on several other exciting television projects (which can't be revealed at this stage!). Since his AFL career ended, Troy has had the privilege of working beside some of the biggest names in sport and television including Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman, Dermott Brereton and Steve Quartermain. The experience Troy has gained through his work in the media (Television and Radio) has proved invaluable, and he hopes to utilise this knowledge via his association with Onya Soapbox.
