18 year old Falkirk midfielder Conor McGrandles signed for Norwich City on 27th August 2014 for an undisclosed fee, reported to be Falkirk's record sale and said to be approximately £1million.

Conor worked under Norwich's first team coach Gary Holt at Falkirk.

On 13th January 2016, he was loaned back to Falkirk for the remainder of the 2015/16 season. Falkirk manager Peter Housten said "He's an extremely talented player who hasn't quite had his break yet at Norwich and we feel that we can offer him the platform to get back to playing regular first-team football. He's a player that we of course know all about and I feel he can add to our squad. I'm sure it is a signing that will excite the fans." Houston's side were second in the Scottish Championship at the time of the loan.

On 5th May 2017, it was announced that Conor would be leaving the Canaries when his contract expired on 30th June 2017.

On 18th May 2017, it was announced that Conor would sign a two year contract with MK Dons on 1st July 2017. McGrandles played alongside Dons manager Robbie Neilson during his time with Falkirk. McGrandles made 27 appearances in his first season with the Dons but could not help them avoid relegation to League Two. The following year, MK Dons won promotion back to League One with Conor making 26 appearances, scoring once.

On 28th July 2020 MK Dons agreed to the mutual termination of his contract so that he could join Lincoln City. He had made 91 appearances for the Dons, scoring four goals.

At the beginning of January 2022 his form for Lincoln saw him linked with Scottish Premiership sides Aberdeen and Hibs.

On 27th May 2022 Conor announced that he would leave Lincoln in the summer when his contract expires as he wanted to explore options elsewhere. He had made 91 appearances for Lincoln captaining them on ocassion.

McGrandles was described by Imps director Jez George as the League One side's "number one target" during the January transfer window."The fact that we waited until deadline day to secure this loan shows what we think of Conor," George added. He made three appearances for Lincoln.

He returned to Lincoln on 14th June 2024 signing a two year deal. As he had a year remaining on his Charlton contract, Lincoln paid an undisclosed fee.
