Playing career

Grant's professional career began in June 2012, when he signed a two-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday, under the management of Dave Jones . During his time with the club, Grant played for the Sheffield Wednesday Development Squad in the U21 Development League, where he scored 13 goals in 24 games in the 2012-2013 season.
In March 2013, Grant was loaned out to Gillingham, where he made his debut for the club on 27 April 2013. He played 70 minutes in their title-winning game against Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.[2]
Grant was then loaned out to Maidenhead United, where he made a promising start by scoring the winning goal on his debut in the fourth round of the 2013–14 FA Trophy. He ended his loan spell with a return of twelve goals in 37 appearances, which helped the team avoid relegation.
