Harlequins Women have announced that they are excited to confirm the signing of Scottish international wing Coreen Grant.
Grant joins from London rivals Saracens, where she made 47 appearances, scoring 16 tries across six seasons in North London.
An environmental journalist outside of rugby, Grant made her Scotland debut in 2021 and featured for her country at the last Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and won the Varsity Match with Cambridge in 2019, scoring a solo try in the dying moments of the game to hand her side the victory.
Grant is a seasoned performer in Premiership Women’s Rugby and has shown a keen eye for the try line, with her acceleration with ball in hand marking her out as a real threat in attack.
Speaking about her decision to make the move across London, Grant highlighted the style of rugby as a key factor in her decision to join.
“I’m delighted to be signing for Quins this season. The side play a really dynamic, exciting brand of rugby which I’m looking forward to being a part of. I think it will take my game to a whole new level. This is clearly a tight knit group, so I can’t wait to get to know everyone and get started.”
Head Coach Ross Chisholm is looking forward to working with Grant in the season ahead.
“We’re delighted to have secured the services of a player like Coreen. She has a proven track record at club and international level and has a great ability to make metres when under pressure,” said Chisholm.
“She is a player with real speed and knows her way to the try line. She will add an extra dimension to our attack when she is on the pitch and I’m looking forward to seeing what she can do in a Quins shirt.”
With thanks to Harlequins
