Club career

Nottingham Forest

After spending time at the Nike Academy, Grant moved to Nottingham Forest's academy, where he played for two years before joining the first-team squad. [3] [4] Grant made his professional debut on 12 August 2014 as an 87th-minute substitute in a 1–0 win over Tranmere Rovers. [5] On 25 September, Grant started Forest's third and final League Cup game of the 2014–15 season away at Spurs, and scored his first goal in professional football with a close-range finish in the 61st minute. Forest ultimately lost this game 3–1. [6]

Notts County (loan)

On 31 January 2017 Grant joined Forest's city rivals Notts County on loan for the remainder of the season, having featured for the Reds in an Under-23 match against the Notts' counterparts earlier that day. After completing the signing, Magpies manager Kevin Nolan described Grant as a player with "brilliant technical ability (who) will add creativity and flair". [7] In Grant's second game for the club he scored a 93rd-minute equaliser in a 2–2 draw at home to Exeter City. [8] After a successful spell at County, in which he starred with six goals in seventeen games to help the club avoid relegation from League Two, Grant signed a three-year deal with Forest on 12 June to extend his stay until 2020. [9] After signing the deal, Grant told iFollow Forest that he was targeting a starting position in Forest's first-team ahead of the new season. [10]

Grant re-signed on loan with Notts County on 20 July 2017, joining the club for the 2017–18 season. [11]

Luton Town (loan)

On 6 July 2018, it was announced that Grant would join Luton Town on loan for their 2018–19 season. [12] The loan was terminated early on 7 January 2019 after making 22 appearances and scoring four goals for Luton. [13]

[16] His form was not unnoticed as he made the League One Team of the Season for the 2020-21 season. [17] In June 2021, it was revealed that the contract which he signed in January had a buyout clause to any Championship side [18] and that a deal for his sale was 'imminent' according to Lincoln CEO, Liam Scully. [19]

Peterborough United

On 29 June 2021, Grant completed a move to Championship side Peterborough United for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year deal. [20]
