In 2017, Hart joined the Ealing Trailfinders. He joined Aviva Premiership side Worcester Warriors for the final few weeks of the 2017-2018 season.

In 2012 Hart trained with the Waratahs, as a member of the Extended Playing Group.

Hart made his debut for the Waratahs in the starting lineup in Round 20 against the Brumbies. Waratahs wing Drew Mitchell wrote a glowing column in the Herald Sun about Grayson's contribution. Following this performance Hart was retained as the starter for the Waratahs in the team's final game of the season against the playoff bound Reds. Hart held his own in the face of world class competition, in the form of scrum-half Will Genia.

He was again part of the Blues Wider Training Group but with the signing of more experienced players at the scrum-half position Grayson did not play in any Super Rugby matches. Hart spent the 2010 season on loan to North Harbour for the ITM Cup.

Hart made his Super Rugby debut for the Blues against the Bulls in Round 2 of 2009, he then went on to play seven Super 14 matches that season. At 20 years old, he is the youngest scrum-half ever to play for the Blues at Super Rugby level. Again played for Auckland at ITM Cup level.

Hart was a key member of the New Zealand under-20 team which won the inaugural IRB Junior World Championship in 2008 in Wales, scoring a try against Ireland in the process. At the end of 2008 he played in an All Blacks practice match against the New Zealand Barbarians side. He would again suit up for Auckland in the Air New Zealand Cup where he shared time at scrum-half with Taniela Moa.

Hart played for the New Zealand under-20 side in the 2008 IRB Junior World Championship where he kept current All Blacks scrum-half Aaron Smith on the bench throughout the tournament. Also part of the 2008 World Champion New Zealand under-20 side were current All Blacks, Zac Guildford, Sam Whitelock as well as Wallabies flyhalf Mike Harris.

Grayson made his debut for Auckland in the 2007 Air New Zealand Cup as a 19-year-old and made 13 appearances for a team that went undefeated during the season, won the Air New Zealand Cup and reclaimed the Ranfurly Shield from Canterbury.
