David Gray Confirms Backroom Team

Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray has confirmed his backroom team ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

The 36-year-old has named Eddie May and Liam Craig as Assistant Coaches, with Craig Samson joining as his Goalkeeping Coach.

Eddie May

Eddie May – a name well-known to Hibernian FC supporters – has been working at Hibs in a coaching capacity since 2014 undertaking a number of different roles.

During Gray’s spells as Caretaker Head Coach, May was his right-hand-man and adds valuable experience to the coaching set-up.

Born a Hibee, the 56-year-old made over 100 appearances for his boyhood club.

Liam Craig

Gray has also brought in Liam Craig as Assistant Coach. Craig joins from Queen’s Park where he was Callum Davidson’s Assistant Manager.

Prior to that role, the 37-year-old worked in a coaching capacity with St Johnstone and Arbroath.

In his playing days, Craig spent two years at Easter Road and captained Hibs. 

Craig Samson

Lastly, Craig Samson has returned to Hibernian FC as Goalkeeping Coach.

Samson worked with Gray for 18 months under former manager Jack Ross, before joining the Aberdeen First Team coaching set-up.

As a player, the goalkeeper made over 400 senior appearances, before making the switch into coaching joining Sunderland under Ross in 2018. Spells at Rochdale, Hibs and Aberdeen followed before being reunited with Gray and the Hibees in June 2024.
