Born on August 26, 1987, in Acton, London, Grant began his football career at Watford, where he made his first-team debut as a substitute in a League Cup match against Notts County in 2005. He went on to make nine more appearances for the club, including three starts, before being rewarded with a professional contract prior to the 2006-07 season.
Grant's time at Watford was followed by a four-month loan to Aldershot Town, where he made 19 league and cup appearances, scoring four goals.

Grant went on to play for several clubs, including Wycombe Wanderers, Yeovil Town, Exeter City, Plymouth Argyle, Swindon Town, and Grimsby Town. He has also represented Jamaica on the international stage, making appearances for the national team.
