Career Cut Short
It can't be fun trying to find something new to do after calling quits on a footballing career so young East Stirling’s former Celtic and Dundee midfielder Charlie Grant has called time on his football career aged just 24 after a series of injuries. Grant was a member of the Scotland Under-19 team which reached the European Championship Final in Poland in 2006 and was one of the nine players released by Dundee when they entered Administration in October. He moved to East Stirling on a short term deal under his former Parkhead coach Jim McInally until the January transfer window opened. Unfortunately, he failed to find a full time club during the transfer window and returned to the Shire. He played his last game when he came on as a substitute against Queen’s Park 10 days ago. An emotional Grant advised the club of his decision to quit after the 3-2 win. Assistant head coach David Nicholls said: "We tried to talk Charlie out of it and told him to take some time before he finally made his mind up. He says he has done that now and we respect his decision and wish him well in whatever he decides to do next."
