Sources: Scunthorpe United agree to sign Swindon Town star Grant
Scunthorpe United have agreed a deal to sign Swindon Town midfielder Anthony Grant, Football Insider understands.
The 34-year-old has only played in seven games this season and Swindon are happy to let him move on.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Jamaica international Grant has accepted a deal that runs until the end of the season.
The Iron’s boss Keith Hill has sanctioned the move as he looks to add some experience to his squad at Glanford Park.
The combative midfielder made his last league appearance for the Robins in August against Mansfield.
His County Ground contract expires at the end of this season.
Grant came through the ranks at Premier League giants Chelsea, making one appearance in the top flight before departing for Southend in 2008.
The Lambeth-born midfielder played 180 times for the Shrimpers, scoring 10 goals and notching eight assists.
Grant made the step up to League One in 2012 following Southend’s stagnation in England’s fourth tier – turning out for Stevenage, Crewe, Port Vale, Peterborough and Shrewsbury over seven seasons.
The Jamaica international then returned to League Two with Swindon – penning an initial loan move before joining permanently in January 2020.
He was named the Robins’ Player of the Season as the Wiltshire side were promoted to League One.
Injury prevented the midfielder from playing a significant role in the following season as the Robins returned to the fourth tier.
Grant could now be involved in another relegation scrap, with Scunthorpe sitting second from bottom in League Two after losing their last five games.
The Lincolnshire side are six points adrift of 22nd-placed Colchester.
The Iron are next in action against Port Vale tomorrow.
