Grant, 18, has been given the green light to head out the exit door to get some more first-team experience under his belt.
He was due to make his debut for Grantham yesterday but their game against Scarborough Athletic was postponed due to the weather.

Second loan
Grant has recently been spending time on loan at Widnes but has now switched clubs.
The teenager linked up with the Northern Premier League side last month along with Seasiders’ teammate Sky Sinclair.
Career to date
He started his career in the academy at West Bromwich Albion and rose up through the ranks of the Midlands club.
However, the defender parted company with the Baggies this past summer despite breaking into their Under-18s side last term.
Blackpool subsequently swooped to sign him on a free transfer in August.
The Championship club handed him an initial one-year deal but have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.

New temporary home
Grantham play their football in the Northern Premier League and are currently rock-bottom of the table.
They haven’t won in 17 games this season but will be hoping Grant can tighten up their leaky defence.
