Who is Jarrad Grant?

Jarrad Grant is an Australian rules footballer who has played for the Western Bulldogs Football Club in the Australian Football League since 2008.

Recruited from his TAC Cup team, the Dandenong Stingrays, Grant is an AIS/AFL Academy graduate who originally played for the Frankston Bombers.

Grant nominated for the 2007 AFL National Draft. He was selected by the Bulldogs with their first selection in the hope that he would add height and marking power to the Bulldogs small forward line.

On 22 February, Grant was stung by a stingray. He was later released from hospital but missed the game.

Grant made his AFL debut in Round 5 of 2009, but only played the one game, in which he only had one kick, for the year. He returned to the Bulldogs side in Round 5 of 2010 and has maintained his position in the side, showing promising signs of becoming a long-term forward-line player including a personal best performance of 6 Goals vs Essendon in Round 22, 2010.
