Club career

In July 2017, Grimes signed for League Two club Cheltenham Town from Dover Athletic on a free transfer.[1] Grimes made his EFL debut for Cheltenham against Morecambe, on 5 August 2017.[2] On 10 May 2018, it was announced that Grimes would leave Cheltenham at the end of his current deal in June 2018.[3]

Following his release from Cheltenham, Grimes joined fellow League Two side Macclesfield Town, signing a one-year deal.[4] Whilst at the club, Grimes was subject of unpaid wages from the club, leading to a winding up order set for September 2019.[5] Grimes left the club after just one season and returned to Kent to play for Ebbsfleet United.[6] Grimes departed the club after one season with the club[7] having been relegated in the early curtailed season, finding themselves in the relegation zone after the season was determined on a points-per-game basis.[8]

On 4 August 2020, Grimes joined National League North side Hereford on a one-year deal.[9] Following the early curtailment of the season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,[10] Grimes appeared at Wembley in the FA Trophy Final as Hereford lost a one-goal lead to lose 3–1 to Hornchurch.[11] Grimes was offered a new deal with the club at the end of the season[12] however he turned down this contract offer.[13]

Chesterfield

On 15 June 2021, Grimes agreed a deal to join Chesterfield.[14]
