Graham progressed through the Queens Park Rangers youth ranks.[3] He made the switch to Football League Two side Cheltenham Town on a two-year contract. He made his professional debut on 16 August 2011, in the Football League Two 2–1 defeat to Morecambe at Whaddon Road. He came on as a second-half substitute for Josh Low.[4]

He joined AFC Telford United on loan in February 2013 for an initial month-long period.[5] It was announced that Graham would stay at Telford until the end of the season. On 17 May 2013 his contract expired.[6] Graham then moved onto Chelmsford City in August 2013.

Manager Rod Stringer announced he would be signing a new one-year contract for the 2016–17 season. Graham picked up his first goal of the season against Ebbsfleet United also picking up the Man of the match award.[9]

On 29 November 2017, Graham returned to Chelmsford City on an initial one-month loan deal.[10] On 1 January 2018, Chelmsford City extended Graham's loan deal until the end of the season.[11] On 6 June 2019, he signed for National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-year deal.[12] In September 2020, Graham signed for Isthmian League North Division club Romford.[13]
