Grant, who had been signed from Scottish club East Stirlingshire[1] for a then record fee of £1600 for a second division player, made his debut for Blackpool eighteen games into their 1927–28 league season, a 2–2 draw at South Shields on 10 December 1927.
[3] Grant appeared in all but two of Blackpool's league games as captain in 1929–30 as the club won the Division Two championship.
He did, however, appear in the club's FA Cup fifth-round defeat at Sunderland in February 1933.
[7] Sandy MacFarlane was appointed as Blackpool manager for the 1933–34 term, and Grant found himself surplus to requirements, making just five league starts.
His 220th and final league appearance for Blackpool occurred on 4 May 1935, in a final-day 1–1 draw with Bolton Wanderers at Bloomfield Road.
