Career

Born in Aberdeen, Grant began his career at Falkirk. He made his debut on 10 November 2012, replacing Jonathan Flynn for the final four minutes of a 2–1 Scottish Football League Division One loss at Raith Rovers.[2] He made 23 appearances in his first season, scoring the opening goal of a 2–0 win at Dumbarton on 23 February 2013.[3] On 3 August 2013, he scored the final goal of Falkirk's 3–0 win over Clyde in the first round of the Scottish League Cup.[4]

In January 2015, Grant was loaned to Scottish League Two team Arbroath for the remainder of the season.[5] He scored twice in eleven matches there: in a 3–1 loss at Berwick Rangers on 14 February,[6] and a free kick in a 5–0 home win over the same team on 2 May which qualified the team for the promotion play-offs.[7] After only 7 first-team appearances, Grant was released by Falkirk in January 2016.[8]

On 5 March 2016, Grant signed for Fleetwood Town until the end of the 2015–16 season.[9] Ten days later, he made his debut in Football League One, playing the entirety of a 0–1 loss to Walsall at Highbury Stadium.[10] He was released by Fleetwood during the January 2017 transfer window.[1] Grant signed a short-term contract with Scottish League One club Stenhousemuir in February 2017.[1] He left Stenhousemuir at the end of the 2016–17 season, then signed for Alloa Athletic.[11]
