Grant McCann (born 14 April 1980 in Belfast) is a Northern Irish footballer who currently plays for Cheltenham Town of Football League One in England.
McCann, a midfielder, started his career at West Ham United. A product of the club's Academy of Football, he failed to cement a place in the senior squad, and made just four substitute appearances for the East London club.
McCann had loan spells at Livingston and Notts County before moving to Cheltenham Town, in another loan deal, in 2000.
After another loan deal took him back to Cheltenham in 2002, the move was made permanent during the January 2003 transfer window. McCann has since made 140 league appearances for the Gloucestershire club.
He made his debut for the Northern Ireland national team on 6 October 2001 in a 1-0 away win against Malta.
He is now being strongly linked with a move away from Cheltenham with Burnley or Cardiff possible destinations. It is expected that the palyer wil move on loan to one of these two clubs in the next few days with a perm move being completed in the new year for around £250,000.
