Penrith have re-signed promising prop Tim Grant until the end of the 2011 NRL season.

Grant, a 20-year-old local junior, made 11 appearances for the Panthers in his debut season last year.

He is currently battling an ankle injury which is expected to keep him out for at least another month.

"Although currently sidelined through injury, the club is confident that Tim will push his way into being a regular first grader," Panthers chief executive Michael Leary said.

"Tim is a very good local junior and once the injury has healed we look forward to seeing him force his way into the team from round 10."

Grant represented NSW from under 17s to 19s.
