This paper presents Monte Carlo simulations of the orbital and mass development of a collapsed stellar remnant such as might have been retained in a massive, tightly bound globular cluster following a primordial supernova event. The remnant is subject to accretion from a gas reservoir in the cluster core, and to encounters with nearby cluster stars which gradually modify its orbit. It is found that an object with an initial mass of ≡2 M_sun; can grow to a ≡10 M_sun; black hole over the lifetime of the cluster, provided that the density in the gas reservoir is as high as that required by some unstable accretion flow models to explain the present day cluster X-ray sources. The observational consequences of this cluster X-ray source production mechanism are discussed.
