Grant signed for Plymouth Argyle in June 2018. [11] Plymouth cancelled his contract by mutual consent in January 2019. [12]

Grant then signed for League Two side Carlisle United until the end of the 2018–19 season, [13] when he was released. [14]

On 8 July 2019, Grant signed for Greenock Morton. [15] After spells with Queen's Park and Clyde, Grant joined Dumbarton on loan in February 2023. [16] On 13 July 2024, his contract with Clyde was cancelled by mutual agreement. [17]
