Anthony Paul Shaun Andrew Daure Grant (born 4 June 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays for EFL League One side Peterborough United as a midfielder.
Grant began his career at Chelsea, progressing through the youth ranks before making his first-team debut in 2005. Grant was loaned out four times during his time at Chelsea; briefly playing for Oldham Athletic in 2006, before spending the 2006–07 season at Wycombe Wanderers. He then joined Luton Town on loan in November 2007, spending a month with the club. Grant later joined Southend United in January 2008, on loan until the end of the 2007–08 campaign. He signed for Southend on a permanent basis ahead of the 2008–09 season, and spent four seasons with the club. In June 2012, Grant signed for Stevenage on a free transfer. After one season at Stevenage, Grant joined Crewe Alexandra. He remained with Crewe for two years, and moved on to Port Vale in June 2015. He was voted Port Vale's Player of the Year in 2015–16, before being sold on to Peterborough United in January 2017.
Born in Lambeth, Greater London, Grant began his career at Chelsea as a trainee, progressing through the youth ranks and later becoming a regular for the reserve side. In May 2005, Grant made his professional debut for the club, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute for Joe Cole in Chelsea's 3–1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Due to Grant's impressive performances for the reserve side, he was named in the first-team squad for the 2005–06 season, for which he had been allocated the squad number 42. However, he made no first-team appearances for Chelsea during the campaign. In January 2006, Grant was loaned to League One club Oldham Athletic, signing for the club on a one-month loan deal. He made his debut for Oldham a day after signing, playing the whole match in a 3–0 away defeat against Nottingham Forest. He went on to make just one further appearance during his brief loan spell, playing the first 67 minutes in a 2–0 victory against Gillingham at Boundary Park. He returned to his parent club in early February 2006, and featured regularly for Chelsea's reserves for the remainder of the season.
