Peter Grant Off To Perth
The Force have replaced the departing Sias
Ebersohn with another South African for the 2016 Super Rugby season.
Peter Grant will move to Perth having spent last season in France with La Rochelle.
A reliable points scorer in Super Rugby with the Stormers, Grant has also been capped by the Springboks on five occasions.
Grant has signed a two-year deal with the Force and is excited about his move to Australia.
"I'm very excited and looking forward to the move immensely,” said Grant.
"I've obviously got a lot of family there with two of my uncles living in Perth, one of them for over 30 years, and my parents as well, so that's a big draw card, but I love the lifestyle of Australia, particularly in Perth.
"I feel like I have a lot to offer to the younger players, especially playing a mentoring role. Giving them a little bit of advice here and there, which is similar to what players did for me in my career."
