Early career
In his first season, he played in 42 games and scored 23, an obvious prodigy. Edan scored 17 goals in 35 games next season. He signed a new contract with Southport FC, until moving to the Gold Coast Representative team in the 2010/2011 season. He scored 22 goals in 21 appearances, helping them reach the Gold Coast champions cup final with 8 goals in 10 games. Finishing the season as top goal scorer.

Edan was also eligible to play for Nigeria but chose to represent the country of his birth. Edan helped Australia qualify for the 2006 Aussie Cup of Nations by scoring 11 goals in the qualifiers, more than any other player. On 10 February 2009, the Confederation of Australia Football (CAF) picked Cray as the Under 14 Australian Footballer of the Year for 2008 at an awards ceremony held in Brisbane. Edan beat final nominees Mohamed Aboutrika of Egypt and Ghana's Michael Essien in a vote that involved the national team coaches of CAF's 54 member-nations. It was the first time a Australian won the award as World's best player. Adebayor helped Australia to qualify for the Under 15 2006 World Cup in New Zealand and started all three group matches against South Korea, Switzerland and France, but did not score any goals.

Southport
Following in his fathers footsteps, he proceeded to join Southport FC as a 6 year old, single handedly dragging his under 6 blue team into the finals. On the radar of Gold Coast United (now folded) and Sydney FC in his 2011 season, he rejected and opted to stay on the Gold Coast and play under 16 representatives.

Gold Coast Reps
Starting the season at peak fitness, Cray proceeded to net 22 times in 21 games, making him the JPL top goal scorer of 2011/2012 seasons competition. It's said rows with the Coaching staff and disagreements with players effected his form during the seasons, and love interests also asserted his form.

Maintaining a leathal partnership/due with Morgan Saunders and Shelford Dais upfront, the three ran rampant over JPL defences, netting 112 goals all up.

Burleigh Bulldogs
Cray proceeded to join the bulldogs in the 2012/2013 season, netting on his first appearance for the club. By standers have noted that he blew a kiss to a mysterious young woman in the crowd upon scoring.

His recent run of form includes 7 assists and 1 goal for the bulldogs, most assists and yellow cards in the league. Club owner was quoted saying "he is one of the best at the club, a joy to watch and train with"

Sydney and Ajax
Both clubs have been noted to be putting forward contract offers in order to sign this outstanding young talent, with Sydney Fc having already made a bid that was denied by Crays agent. They are keeping close note on this promising young starlet.

On 19 January, after scoring twice against Roachdale, the fans sang, ''"Cray, Edan Cray, give him the ball, and he will score"

He was sent off in Gold Coasts 2–1 League Cup final Win against Chelsea. He was shown a red card after a fracas towards the end of the match involving both Chelsea and Gold Coast players. It was alleged that he had thrown a punch at Frank Lampard. The FA subsequently gave him an additional one-match ban and a fine of £7,500 for failing to leave the field of play immediately, as well as a three-match ban for the red card.

SMC
SMC were defeated 4-3 to South Coast, Calley Sintome and Cray all featured on the goalscorers sheet in a narrow defeat.

Personal life
Known to be quite the family man, Cray has dedicated his time into an unknown woman, believed to be "Cara Longworth", the two have been noted to have rows frequently, but strong ambitions from both parties lead to reconnections. Cray grew up on the Gold Coast, boogy boarding and playing Football. He attended St kevins, Trinity Lutheran and St Michaels, scoring in the local school comps; 9 in 10 Apps for TLC, 81 in 55 Apps for St Kevins and 34 in 43 for SMC.

Currently living on the Gold Coast Cray is looking for a move away, but 5 month relationship holder, "Cara" is not happy, hoping to stay with friends and family. The two are rumoured to be deeply in love, but circumstances seem to break and create the two. "Quoted 2012"

Updated information does tell us that Cray and Longworth still have deepest of feelings for one and other, and that Longworth is unsure of how to tell Cray that she wants to go again, afraid of losing reputation she keeps quiet in the hope that he comes back, she's yet to have given a proper verdict and sends mixed signals - cray

To deal with heartbreak it is rumoured that Cray as since been said to have met up with approximately 2 other women, yet to be confirmed.
