However, he struggled to hold down a regular first-team place and was mostly restricted to appearances as a substitute.
He was loaned to Conference high flyers Yeovil Town at the end of February where he made four appearances before returning to Home Park for the closing weeks of the campaign.
Gritton joined Devon rivals Torquay United on loan in August 2002, and soon agreed a one year deal.
This was extended upto June 2005 in February 2003.
However, he joined Grimsby Town in December 2004 with a contract to June 2006.
Gritton joined Lincoln City in January 2006 with a contract to June 2007.
He joined Macclesfield Town in July 2007 with a two-year contract.
Gritton joined Chesterfield in January 2009 with a contract to June 2011 that was cancelled in January 2011.
He joined Yeovil Town in March 2011 with a contract to June 2011.
