CF Montreal hires executive Corey Wray as sports strategy consultant

MONTREAL — CF Montreal hired longtime Major League Soccer executive Corey Wray as a sports strategy consultant Tuesday.

Wray will assist president and chief executive Gabriel Gervais in “optimizing the club’s sporting activities.”

A graduate of Brock University’s sports management program, Wray began his career with Toronto FC in 2006 as the club’s first-ever intern, working his way up to manager of team operations (2012-14), senior manager of team operations (2014-15) and director of team operations (2015-17) before becoming assistant GM.

Wray left TFC in 2020 to join the Columbus Crew as an assistant general manager under former Toronto executive Tim Bezbatchenko. He also served as GM of MLS NEXT Pro side Columbus Crew 2, who were coached by Laurent Courtois before Montreal hired him last off-season.
