PETER GRANT
Born: 11 March 1994
Came from: Falkirk Went to: Carlisle United
First game: 22 September 2018 Last game: 13 November 2018
Appearances: 9 (7/2) Goals: 0
Grant became Derek Adams' eighth signing in just over three weeks when he signed at Home Park at the end of June 2018. A left-sided defender, he had been released by Scottish Championship team Falkirk at the end of the 2017-18 season.
Grant began his football as a youngster with Norwich City, where his father, also Peter, was manager (Peter Snr had also played for Norwich after making over 350 appearances for Celtic). Young Grant also played for Thorpe Rovers whilst in Norfolk. After his father had left Norwich, Peter Jnr then went on to have a trial with Watford before joining Peterborough for the rest of his youth career, going on to captain the youth team before signing a professional contract in 2013. During his spell at London Road, he also spent time on loan at Thurrock and then Histon, both in the Conference South (tier 6). He was released at the end of the 2013-14 season.
In 2014 he joined Falkirk, where he scored 9 times in 120 games, including, memorably, a late consolation goal in the 2015 Scottish FA Cup Final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, which Falkirk narrowly lost 2-1. In all, he spent four seasons with the club before he was released at the end of the 2017-18 season.
He joined two other Grants - forward Joel and midfielder Conor - in Argyle's 2018-19 first team squad, but regular opportunities proved difficult for Peter. Whilst injuries and squad selection limited the playing time of the three Grants together, they did all start the 3-0 home defeat to Swindon Town in the Football League Trophy, causing havoc for match-day commentators.
That was the first occasion since September 1961 that Argyle's line-up included three players with the same surname, with the 1961 trio including one of Argyle's all-time greats, Johnny Williams.
With just nine appearances to his name, Grant left Home Park near the end of the January 2019 transfer window after agreeing a termination of his contract. He immediately headed back north to join up with former Falkirk manager and team-mate Steven Pressley - newly installed as Carlisle United's boss - for whom Grant signed a permanent deal until the end of the 2018-19 season. However, after making just four appearances he was released when his contract expired.
Following his brief spell in Cumbria, he returned to Scotland and signed for Greenock Morton for whom he played 19 times and scored twice in the 2019-20 season. Grant's stay at Cappielow Park was a short one and he transferred to Queen's Park mid-way through the season. He played 41 times and scored three goals for The Spiders achieving promotions in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
In 2022-23 he signed for Clyde (where his brother Ray was also on the books), making 42 appearances and scoring once but was also loaned to Dumbarton, for whom he played a further 17 times that season.
