Dean Grant (born 18 March 1989 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the French Fédérale 1 side SO Chambéry.[1] His regular position is fly-half. Sporting an uncanny resemblance to the Hollywood actor, Matt Damon, Dean is considered one of South Africa's sexiest sportsmen.

Career[edit]

Boland Cavaliers[edit]

Grant made his first class debut in 2010, when he was included in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] squad for the 2010 Vodacom Cup competition. In his first match against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]], he scored 17 points (a 19th-minute try, two penalties and three conversions) in a 37–28 victory in Bredasdorp.[2] He scored 19 points in his second match for the side (five penalties and two conversions) in their next match against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in a 29–37 loss in Bloemfontein.[3] He made just two more appearances for the side though and ended the competition with a personal tally of 44 points, the 11th-highest in the competition.[4]

Varsity Cup[edit]

In 2013, Grant played Varsity Cup rugby for Stellenbosch-based university side [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. He played in all nine their matches, scoring 35 points, as they reached the final of the competition, only to lose to [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[5]

He also played in the 2014 Varsity Cup, but this time for Cape Town-based [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. He was named in the run-on side in all nine of their matches and contributed 77 points – second only behind [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]' Robert du Preez as he once again helped his team reach the final.[6] He went one better this time, however, as he featured in an amazing final against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Potchefstroom, where UCT fought back from 33–15 down with five minutes to go to score a 39–33 victory with Grant slotting two late conversions.[7]

Griquas[edit]

Grant then joined Kimberley-based outfit [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] prior to the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division[8] and he was named in their starting line-up for their Round Three clash against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[9] He marked his debut by scoring a try, a penalty and a conversion as Griquas suffered a 33–15 defeat.[10]

Towards the end of 2014, he signed a new one-year contract to keep him at [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] for 2015.[11]

SO Chambéry[edit]

He got an early release from his contract and moved to France to join Fédérale 1 side SO Chambéry.[12]
