Grant, 25, has been in solid form for the unbeaten Sky Blues this term, prompting Fox Sports commentators to push his case for Australia selection during Saturday’s 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory.

The former Australia youth international is behind the likes of Milos Degenek, Ryan McGowan and Josh Risdon to be the Socceroos’ first-choice right back.

“I’ve never really considered myself to get there,” Grant said.

“Obviously as a youngster you want to get there but I’ve never really chucked myself in the frame.

“I didn’t know about the name being thrown out there.

“My sisters told me they heard it on the commentary, they’ve let me know.

“I’m not going to get ahead of myself. Obviously there’s some great right-backs in the league.

“Risso (Risdon) is in there now and he’s been killing it for a number of years.

“It’s not an easy position to work your way into, but to get your name thrown around is a good thing, I’ll take it on board.”

Grant conceded he felt wasn’t in career-best form and felt his display against Victory was far from outstanding, with his opponent Mitch Austin scoring his side’s only goal.

“To be fair on the weekend I didn’t think I was that great,” Grant said.

“I made a few mistakes and wasn’t too pleased with myself but everyone was giving me a wrap.

“I’ll take that on board and run with it. I feel like I’m doing okay, obviously there’s always room for improvement.

“I feel like I’m doing pretty well.”
