Exeter Chiefs signed Maddy Grant from Harlequins in June 2025. Supporters may remember the back-row from her try against Chiefs at Sandy Park in the 2024/25 season, but now she is making Exeter her new home.

Grant joined Harlequins in December in 2024 as injury cover for her international teammate Sara Svoboda when she also made the switch from her more accustomed position among the backs to flanker.

She represented Canada in the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and featured in both their semi-final and third place play-off against England and France respectively.

Born in Cornwall, Ontario, Grant began playing rugby in high school when she took a break from basketball.

Grant said: “That one and only year, my school happened to have a rugby team, so I went out not knowing a single thing about the sport. It’s crazy how one decision has put me on such a great trajectory of life!”

She added: “Now ⁠I’m joining Chiefs and I am looking forward to the expansive and free style of play that will allow me to develop as a player in multiple respects. My hope for this season is to help contribute to a successful 25/26 year. There’s so much depth and talent in this squad, I’m very excited to be a part of it.”
