Harlequins<\/a> have signed scrum-half Jack Grant<\/a> as injury cover until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old joins from the New South Wales<\/a> Waratahs, having missed out on the club\u2019s squad with the new Super Rugby Pacific<\/a> season set to commence this week.<\/p>\n

The Yorkshire-born back, who was educated in Australia, will return to London for the second time in his career after a stint with Ealing Trailfinders in 2023.<\/p>\n

With Will Porter<\/a> out with a shoulder injury and Lucas Friday<\/a> away with England<\/a> U20 currently, Grant will provide cover at scrum-half during their PREM Rugby Cup campaign and the Gallagher PREM, which resumes in March. <\/p>\n

Quins also have a Investec Champions Cup<\/a> clash with Sale Sharks<\/a> at the Stoop on the horizon in April. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to welcome Jack into the group for the remainder of the season,\u201d said Quins senior coach Jason Gilmore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Will Porter sidelined for an extended period as he rehabilitates from a shoulder dislocation, and Lucas Friday away with England Under-20s, it\u2019s important we have depth in a critical position.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack is an experienced nine who will give us greater options and help share the workload across our scrum-halves during a busy run of fixtures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harlequins have signed scrum-half Jack Grant as injury cover until the end of the season.
