[edit] Career

Grant started his career at Watford. He made his first team debut whilst still a member of Watford's Academy, coming on as a substitute in a League Cup match against Notts County on August 23, 2005. Whilst still an Academy scholar, he made 9 more appearances for the club, including 3 starts.

Grant was rewarded with a professional contract by Watford prior to the 2006-2007 season. On 31 August 2006 he joined Aldershot on a four month loan, in order to gain experience.^[1] During his time with the Shots, he made 17 league and cup appearances, scoring 3 goals.

Grant was unable to break into the Watford side during their 2006-07 Premiership campaign and he was released at the end of the season.^[2] In September 2007 he rejoined Aldershot on non-contract terms.^[3] His playing shirt reads "V Grant" due to the presence of another "J Grant" (John Grant) in the Aldershot squad.

[edit] International career

In June 2006 Grant earned a call-up to the Jamaica under-23 squad to play in the Central American and Caribbean Games taking place in Colombia between 15 and 29 July.^[4] He spent much of February 2007 with the squad for the CONCACAF under-20 World Cup qualifiers.^[5]
