He then joined Luton Town on loan in November 2007, spending a month with the club. Grant later joined Southend United in January 2008, on loan until the end of the 2007–08 campaign. He signed for Southend on a permanent basis ahead of the 2008–09 season, and spent four seasons with the club. In June 2012, Grant signed for Stevenage on a free transfer. After one season at Stevenage, Grant joined Crewe Alexandra. He remained with Crewe for two years, and moved on to Port Vale in June 2015.
