Professional career

Grabham began playing for Tondu RFC, and came through the Ospreys development system, also playing for Bridgend Ravens and Aberavon RFC.[1] He made his Ospreys debut on 15 October 2011 in an Anglo-Welsh Cup match against Exeter Chiefs.[2] While with the Ospreys, Grabham underwent a positional change, moving from scrum half to wing.[1] Grabham signed a two-year extension with the Ospreys in 2013.[3] He further extended his Ospreys contract in 2015 for another two seasons.[1]

On 27 June 2017, it was announced that Grabham would join the Scarlets for the 2017–18 Pro14 season.[4] Grabham made one appearance for the Scarlets, on 9 September 2017. During the match, Grabham suffered a serious knee injury, and announced his retirement on 13 April 2018.[5]

Grabham is a Wales Sevens international, and captained the team for an event in 2012.[6]
