The holding-midfielder's impressive form was rewarded by being named in Tony Popovic's pool for the recent World Cup qualifying games at home to Indonesia and in China.

But despite travelling across the other side of the world, the on loan Sunderland player did not even make the squad for those games.

It was a different story for club team-mates Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller after the pair started both of the victories.

And despite being left frustrated by not making his debut, Gray insists the 21-year-old is still heading in the right direction.
