Gregory started playing football at the Sheffield United Academy. He was not offered a professional contract with the Blades and so he went and played non-league football with Staveley Miners Welfare whilst learning to become an electrician. After a prolific season with Staveley he joined Mansfield Town in September 2009. He failed to break into the first team at Field Mill and after loan spells with Glapwell, Harrogate Town and FC Halifax Town he signed for the latter on a permanent basis. He became a regular goalscorer at The Shay helping them win the Northern Premier League Premier Division title in 2010–11 and promotion from the National League North via the play-offs in 2012–13. His goals earned him a move to Championship club Millwall in June 2014. Gregory scored 27 goals in 2015–16 and helped the Lions beat Bradford City in the 2017 EFL League One play-off final. He scored 77 goals in 238 appearances for Millwall before joining Stoke City in June 2019.
