Stats
Bio
Recruited from West Melbourne, Reg Grant was a light-framed utility who played a fringe role for North Melbourne during the mid-1950s. Standing 178cm and weighing just 72kg, he possessed the build of a rover or flanker and showed an ability to hit the scoreboard, booting eight goals across his 16 senior appearances. He broke into the side in 1953 and remained on the edge of selection for three years, unable to cement a permanent spot in the starting eighteen during a competitive period that saw the Shinboners reach the finals in 1954. His VFL career concluded after the 1955 season, and he passed away prematurely in 1979 at the age of 46.
