Club career

Nottingham Forest

After spending time at the Nike Academy, Grant moved to Nottingham Forest's academy, where he played for two years before joining the first-team squad. Grant made his professional debut on 12 August 2014 as an 87th-minute substitute in a 1–0 win over Tranmere Rovers. On 25 September, Grant started Forest's third and final League Cup game of the 2014–15 season away at Spurs, and scored his first goal in professional football with a close-range finish in the 61st minute. Forest ultimately lost this game 3–1.

Notts County (loan)

On 31 January 2017 Grant joined Forest's city rivals Notts County on loan for the remainder of the season, having featured for the Reds in an Under-23 match against the Notts' counterparts earlier that day. After completing the signing, Magpies manager Kevin Nolan described Grant as a player with "brilliant technical ability will add creativity and flair". In Grant's second game for the club he scored a 93rd-minute equaliser in a 2–2 draw at home to Exeter City. After a successful spell at County, in which he starred with six goals in seventeen games to help the club avoid relegation from League Two, Grant signed a three-year deal with Forest on 12 June to extend his stay until 2020. After signing the deal, Grant told iFollow Forest that he was targeting a starting position in Forest's first-team ahead of the new season.
