Thomas Grant (born 31 May 1995) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Fleetwood Town in England's League One.

Career

Born in Aberdeen, Grant began his career at Falkirk. He made his debut on 10 November 2012, replacing Jonathan Flynn for the final four minutes of a 2–1 Scottish Football League Division One loss at Raith Rovers.[1] He made 23 appearances in his first season, scoring the opening goal of a 2–0 win at Dumbarton on 23 February 2013.[2] On 3 August 2013, he scored the final goal of Falkirk's 3–0 win over Clyde in the first round of the Scottish League Cup.[3]

In January 2015, Grant was loaned to Scottish League Two team Arbroath for the remainder of the season.[4] He scored twice in eleven matches there: in a 3–1 loss at Berwick Rangers on 14 February,[5] and a free kick in a 5–0 home win over the same team on 2 May which qualified the team for the promotion play-offs.[6]

After only 7 first-team appearances, Grant was released by Falkirk in January 2016.[7]

On 5 March 2016, Grant signed for Fleetwood Town until the end of the 2015–16 season.[8] Ten days later, he made his debut in Football League One, playing the entirety of a 0–1 loss to Walsall at Highbury Stadium.[9]
