Career

Grayson made his debut for Doncaster Rovers in August 2010, coming on in the 90th minute in his side's 2–1 loss after extra time to Accrington Stanley in the League Cup.[1] He later went on to make the bench three times that season.

After being released by Doncaster in 2011, Grayson went on to play for Frickley Athletic as well as having spells at Matlock Town, Stocksbridge Park Steels and Mickleover Sports as well as playing in Sweden for Ånge, in Australia for Cumberland United and in the Philippines for Loyola Meralco Sparks.[2] Joining Filipino club Loyola Meralco Sparks in the summer 2015, he left the club again in September 2015 to return to Stocksbridge Park Steels.[3] He left the club a few weeks later and then joined another of his former clubs, Frickley Athletic.[4]

In September 2017, Grayson began a job as a cover supervisor in Doncaster.[5]

In January 2018, Grayson returned to Buxton for the second time. He went on a one-month loan at Stafford Rangers on 12 October 2019[6] and the deal was then made permanent at the end of the spell in November 2019 after scoring five goals in his six appearances for the club on loan.[7]

In July 2020, Grayson rejoined Frickley Athletic for the fourth time, scoring on his first start of the season in the F.A. Cup against Newcastle Benfield. In June 2021, Grayson decided to leave the club once again. [8]

He signed for Northern Premier League Premier League side Gainsborough Trinity on a free transfer in September 2021.[9]

Grayson was not retained by Trinity at the end of the season.[10] Trinity initially did a u-turn and re-signed Grayson for the 2022–23 season, however on 13 September 2022 he signed for Ossett United.[11]
