The move led to press reports that Grant was surplus to requirements at Pride Park, however manager George Burley dismissed the story as "Total speculation with no basis in fact".
Around the same time, Grant also found himself ousted from the England under-21 squad by Camp.
Grant would have to wait until 19 October to make his first appearance of the season for Derby, when he replaced Lee Camp in goal following Camp's sending-off against Wolves.
Grant went on to start the following match against Burnley whilst Camp served a suspension for the red card, but would not play another first team game for the remainder of the season.
Lee Camp sympathised with Grant at the time, saying: "It's tough for Granty and I would be frustrated in his situation. He came in for the Burnley game and did nothing wrong but I think I've done enough this season to warrant my place in the side".
Another injury followed a fortnight later when Grant fractured his metatarsal during training, and was out of action for another two weeks.
After playing just three games in 18 months, Grant was allowed to join Championship club Burnley on a one-month loan on 15 November 2005 as cover for the suspended Brian Jensen.

Grant returned to his parent club on 14 January 2006 with Burnley manager Steve Cotterill claiming that the club were unable to continue to pay his high wages and that "He may go on loan somewhere else where he will play all the time".

Grant signed a three-year contract with Championship club Sheffield Wednesday on 2 July 2007, joining at the same time as another young 'keeper, Robert Burch.
Despite goalkeeping coach Billy Mercer stating that there would be "No number one or number two", Grant was given the number one shirt and, despite some poor early form, established himself as first-choice goalkeeper.
