Huddersfield Town

On 30 January 2019, Grant joined Huddersfield Town for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until the summer of 2022 with the club.[12] He made his debut for the Yorkshire club three days later in a 5–0 away loss to Chelsea where he came on as a substitute.[13] On 9 February 2019, Grant scored his first Huddersfield goal on his second Town appearance in a 2–1 home loss against Arsenal.[14]

West Bromwich Albion

On 15 October 2020, West Bromwich Albion announced the signing of Grant on a six-year contract for an undisclosed fee,[15] reported to be £15 million.[16] On 26 October 2020, Grant scored his first league goal for Albion in a 1–1 away draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.[17] In an EFL Cup tie, against Sheffield United, Grant was substituted on, scored the winning goal, got injured and was resubstituted 15 minutes later.[18]
