A tall, robust and skilful frontman who joined the club from our near neighbours. Began his playing career with Cupar Hearts before moving to Dens Park to play with Dundee. Made 19 appearances for the Dark Blues before moving up the coast to sign for Arbroath in August 2001 where he made 34 appearances and scored six goals, making him the second top appearance maker behind goalkeeper Craig Hinchcliffe that season.

He caught he eye of Ross County manager Neale Cooper and moved to Victoria Park at the start of the following season and during his time at Dingwall he formed a striking partnership on occasions with Steve Hislop, playing 13 times together with the partnerthip scoring seven goals.

Season 2004/05 : He was a tremendous addition to the first team squad, played in every game during 04/05 and finished second top goalscorer. At the start of the season he played most of the game upfront by himself but when new manager Craig Brewster came in he was playing alongside a number of partners. The 6’ 1” striker uses his height and strength to his advantage and he became a great favourite with the ICT fans for his outstanding play and his commitment to the side throughout our first campaign in the Premier League.

Season 2005/06 : Graham missed the start the season due to inflammation in the ankle joints, then returned to play in the Reserves and then the first team. He scored two cracking goals but then injured his groin. Returned to full fitness and came off the bench to make his 50th app. for the club against Rangers at the end of January. He was involved in the majority of games towards the end of the season.
