Jorge Grant

Jorge Grant was a regular for Salford City in 2025-26, making 41 League Two appearances and starting 38. His four goals were a modest return from centre midfield, but the volume of starts suggests he was trusted for structure and availability rather than attacking output. He also played five cup matches without scoring, while eight yellow cards pointed to a combative edge in his league role.

Grant’s career has been built across six clubs, moving from Nottingham Forest through a Mansfield Town loan, Lincoln City, Peterborough United, Hearts and Salford City. The supplied record shows a 14-goal season in 2017-18, but his listed league returns since 2021-22 have stayed at four goals or fewer. At 31, the trajectory reads as a settled EFL and Scottish Premiership career rather than a late upward curve.

Grant’s July 2025 move from Hearts to Salford City was a free transfer, which marked a drop from the Scottish Premiership to League Two. Before that, his permanent moves to Hearts, Peterborough United and Lincoln City were all listed as undisclosed-fee deals, following a loan from Nottingham Forest to Mansfield Town in 2019. The pattern suggests a player who retained value through his peak years before moving into a lower-tier regular role.
