Early life

Career

Grant was a member of the Hibernian under 19 squad.[1] He was promoted to the first team squad late in the 2011–12 season, after first choice goalkeeper Graham Stack was injured in the Scottish Cup semi-final victory against Aberdeen.[2][3] With Hibs having secured their SPL status and due to play in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final the following week, Grant made his professional debut on the final day of the 2011–12 Scottish Premier League season.[2][4]

Grant moved on loan to Berwick Rangers in July 2013. Berwick manager Ian Little said in September that he thought Grant had been "terrific" and that he would look to extend the loan agreement with Hibernian.[5] Grant returned to Hibernian in January 2014, having made 17 appearances for Berwick.[6] He was released by Hibernian at the end of the 201314 season.[7]

Grant signed for Livingston in July 2014.[8]

On 23 January 2015, Grant signed for Junior club Bonnyrigg Rose.[9]
