Grant was selected to make his début for the New South Wales Blues in the 2012 State of Origin series' second game. He took the first hit-up of the match and was seen as contributing well to the Blues's victory. ^[2]

Early in the 2014 NRL season Grant was relegated to the NSW Cup and was informed by Penrith to find a new club, despite having two years left on his contract. Although the club later changed its tune, Grant finalised a move to the South Sydney Rabbitohs in April 2014, signing a 4-year contract. ^[3]

On 8 January 2016, Grant signed a 2-year contract with the Wests Tigers starting effective immediately, after being granted a release from the final 3 years of his South Sydney contract. ^[4]

At the end of the 2018 NRL season, Grant was released by Wests. Grant then signed a contract to return to his former club Penrith for the 2019 NRL season. In Round 12 2019 against Manly-Warringah, Grant was taken from the field with an injury which was later revealed to be a torn pectoral muscle and was ruled out for the season. On 5 June 2019, Grant informed the Penrith club of his decision to terminate his contract. ^[5]

On 14 November 2019, it was announced that Grant had signed a contract to join the Thirroul Butchers in the local Illawarra competition for 2020. ^[6]
