Career highlights

Jarrad Grant (born 6 July 1989) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Western Bulldogs Football Club in the Australian Football League from 2008.

Recruited from his TAC Cup team, the Dandenong Stingrays, Grant is an AIS/AFL Academy graduate hailing from the Frankston Bombers. [1] .

Grant nominated for the 2007 AFL National Draft. He was selected by the Bulldogs with their first selection (#5 overall) in the hope that he would add height and marking power to the Bulldogs small forward line.[2].

On 22nd February Jarrad (who was named as an emergency for the NAB Cup game later that night against the Bombers) was stung by a stingray. Ironically he played for Dandenong Stingrays at Under 18's level and 22nd Feb was Steve Irwin's birthday. He was later realeased from hospital but missed the game (which the Bulldogs lost).
