Grant, 23, will arrive at the club from Australian side West Harbour, where the halfback has been plying his trade in the Shute Shield.

The five-foot-nine, 170-pound scrum-half just completed his first campaign with the Pirates, starting all 16 matches he featured in throughout the 2022 season and scoring three tries.

Prior to returning to Australia to play in the Shute Shield, Grant spent three seasons with Northland in New Zealand’s National Provincial Championship, where he featured in 16 games for the Whangarei-based side.

Hailing from Rouchel, Australia – a small town of about 150 residents located 300km north of Sydney – Grant spends his off-seasons back home, working on the family’s cattle farm.

Grant will be designated as a domestic player through his Canadian eligibility, as his maternal grandmother was born and raised in British Columbia before settling in Australia.
