Hamilton & Morton

After his contract with Stirling Albion expired, Graham joined Hamilton Academical for the 2010–11 season, signing on a one-year contract.[4]

Upon reaching the end of his year-long deal at Accies, Graham signed for the club that he supports – Greenock Morton.[5] After breaking his cheekbone in the Renfrewshire Cup final, Graham made his début as a substitute against Dundee on 27 August 2011.

Dumbarton

After one season at Cappielow, Graham was released and signed for nearby Dumbarton along with teammate Ross Forsyth,[6] where he was made captain[7] He scored his first goal for the club against East Stirlingshire in November 2012. At the end of the 2012–13 season, Graham signed a new one-year contract with Dumbarton. In May 2014 Graham agreed to another new one-year contract.[8] He played in 83 consecutive matches[9] before missing the 3–0 defeat to Hibernian in February 2015[10] to attend the birth of his daughter, Eilidh.

He made his 100th appearance for the club on the final day of the 2014–15 season in a 2–2 draw with Raith. After winning the club's player of the season accolade[11] he renewed his contract for the 2015–16 season.[12][13] He was replaced by Darren Barr as club captain in July 2015[14] and left the club by mutual consent a month later[15]

Ayr United

On 27 August 2015, Graham signed for Ayr United on a one-year contract.[16] He scored the winning penalty in the Scottish Championship play-off final shoot-out against Stranraer.[17] Shortly after this, he was released by Ayr.[18]
