Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grant.
On the season, Grant graded 35 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals, 4 assists and 3.651 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 35 → 35). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19. 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
Rated 19.2 overall — below regular-starter level. 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).
