Club career

Norwich City

Grant was raised in Morningthorpe, Norfolk, and started his career with local side Norwich City, joining them at under-15 level in 2010.[3] He progressed through the various youth teams to go on and sign his first professional contract in April 2015.[3] He became a regular in the under-21 squad and signed a one-year contract extension in June 2016 as Norwich were relegated from the Premier League to the EFL Championship.[3] During the 2016–17 season he featured for the under-23 side in the newly formed Premier League 2 development competition and also featured in four EFL Trophy fixtures.[4] In January 2017, he made his first-team debut in the FA Cup third-round replay 1–0 defeat to Southampton, replacing Ben Godfrey as a late substitute.[4] In February 2017, he was sent out on loan to National League challengers Dagenham & Redbridge on a youth loan until the end of the season.[3] He made his debut a couple of days later, playing the first half in the 2–1 home defeat to Guiseley.[4] He struggled to break into the starting line-up and only made three appearances during his loan spell before he was recalled by Norwich in late March.[5] Grant was released by Norwich at the end of the 2016–17 season.[6][7]

Clyde

Grant signed for Scottish League Two club Clyde in February 2018.[8]

International career

Grant received his first call-up to Scotland in August 2014 for the under-19 side for a friendly against Belgium.[9] He started the match in the 2–0 defeat, which later proved to be his only international appearance.[9] He also received a call-up to the friendly against Czech Republic in September, but failed to make an appearance.[10]

Personal life

Grant comes from a footballing family with his father, Peter Grant, a former Scotland international who played for Celtic and Norwich, and also managed the latter.[3] His older brother, Peter Grant Jr. plays professionally in Scotland for Greenock Morton.[3]
