Gareth Michael Grant (born 6 September 1980) is an English footballer, who plays for Frickley Athletic F.C. He played as a professional in the Football League and Premier League for Bradford City, Halifax Town and Lincoln City.[1]

Career

Grant made 30 appearances in the Football League for Bradford City, Halifax Town and Lincoln City. At Bradford he scored three goals, against FK Atlantas in the Intertoto Cup,[2] Darlington in the League Cup[3] and Portsmouth in the league.[4] During his spell with Lincoln he scored once against Chesterfield in the LDV Vans Trophy.[5] After Lincoln, he played in non-league football for Chester City, for whom he made one start and scored two goals in the Cheshire Senior Cup against Cheadle Town.[6] Grant also played for Gainsborough Trinity and Harrogate Town, where he scored 15 goals from 43 appearances in all competitions in the 2005–06 season.[7] In the summer of 2006, Grant moved to Farsley Celtic and helped them to gain promotion to the Conference National in 2007, including scoring a goal in the play-off final win of that year. In February 2008, Grant re-signed for Harrogate Town in time for him to face his former team Gainsborough Trinity.[7] He was released later that year, then spent nearly a year out of football before rejoining Farsley Celtic in March 2009.[8] On 13 March 2010 Grant signed alongside his Farsley strike partner Lee Ellington for fellow Conference North side Droylsden, but left shortly afterwards to join former club Gainsborough Trinity. On 1 July 2010 he joined Farsley,[9] moving on to join Ossett Town in July 2013.[10]
