He played for seven clubs during a 19-year playing career, beginning as a trainee with Cowdenbeath in 1989 and closing out his professional career with Peterhead in the 2003/2004 season.
Prior to becoming a full-time footballer, Grant was a stonemason.[1] He is best known for his two spells with St. Johnstone, during the former of which he scored Saints' second goal in a 3–1 win at home to Airdrie, securing promotion into the Premier League.
Grant played in his testimonial match against Coventry on November 12, 1999.
Grant moved into junior football with Linlithgow Rose, playing for them until midway through the 2004/05 season. He finished the season with Pumpherston, where he became assistant manager to Steve Pittman at Recreation Park.[2] In the summer of 2008 Grant gained a coaching role at Stirling Albion.[3] Grant was appointed assistant manager at Stirling in the summer of 2010,[4] before taking up a post with Perth & Kinross Council.
In November 2011 he was named as the administrator for Super Saints Lotto at his former club St. Johnstone.[5] Then, in July 2012, he became an associate director at the club.
