Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 44th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 31 Grant is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Salford City finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.2, Grant carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
