Grant William Basey is an English-born Welsh footballer, who last played as a left back for Cray Wanderers.
Basey joined Charlton's academy, having been spotted on one of the club's community courses, and signed his first professional contract with Charlton in March 2007. At the start of the 2007–08 season he had a three-month spell on loan at Brentford, before making his debut for Charlton against Queens Park Rangers in October 2007. Basey scored his first ever professional goal in the 4–1 victory over Coventry City on 4 May 2008, just three days after signing a new two-year deal keeping him at The Valley until 2010.
Despite being born in England, Basey chose to represent Wales, qualifying for the Welsh set-up on account of his grandmother being born in Cardiff. He was selected for the Welsh Under-21s squad for a 3–2 loss to Israel in 2007.
Basey received another call up to the Wales squad for the friendly match against England on 15 May 2008. Given the number 12 shirt, he was an unused substitute in his team's 2–0 loss at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.
After spending time on trial at Aberdeen, Basey signed for League Two club Barnet on a four-month contract. He made his debut in the centre of defence alongside Clovis Kamdjo in the 2–0 victory over Hereford United on 2 October 2010.
On 6 January 2011, Basey had his contract with Barnet terminated by temporary manager Paul Fairclough after his dedication to the club had been questioned.
