Daniel Leslie Grainger (born 28 July 1986) is an English footballer who currently plays as a left back for Carlisle United in League Two.
He started his career with the Scottish club Gretna, and thereafter played for Dundee United, St Johnstone and Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premier League. After short spells with St Mirren and Dunfermline Athletic, he returned to England to sign for his home town club, Carlisle, in 2014 and he is Carlisle United's captain.
Born in Penrith, Cumbria, Grainger began his career with Gretna, joining as a schoolboy in the summer of 2002. Grainger made over a dozen appearances before a loan spell with Brechin City in early 2006.
At the start of the 2006–07 season, Grainger became a first-team regular, playing in all but a handful of Gretna's matches. On 27 August 2006, Grainger scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over Queen of the South. On 11 November 2006, Grainger scored his second goal for the club in a 2–1 win over Livingston. Later on in the 2006–07 season, Gretna were promoted from the First Division to the Scottish Premier League. At the start of the 2007–08 season, Grainger became a first-team regular for Gretna's campaign in the Scottish Premier League, making 17 appearances for them before being sold. On 15 December 2007, Grainger made his last appearance for Gretna, in which he scored his third goal (and last in his Gretna career) in a 3–3 draw against Kilmarnock.
