Career
editIn 2000, after a successful trial Grosset moved to then Scottish Third Division club Albion Rovers F.C. by then manager John McVeigh from Réunion Premier League club US Stade Tamponnaise.[1] However, his spell was short, only making 6 appearances for the club, scoring once in Albion's 2-0 win over Montrose F.C.[2]
After leaving Scotland, Grosset became somewhat of a Journeyman, playing for 4 clubs in the space of 4 months, before settling down with a 6-year stint with AS Poissy.[3] In late 2006 he moved to FC Villefranche where he made 77 appearances for 17 goals.[4]
He then moved abroad once more, signing a contract with Professional Singapore S.League club Etoile FC, making his debut in the Week 16, 7-2 loss to Albirex Niigata Singapore FC.[5] His first goal for the club however, would come soon thereafter with a tight 1-0 victory over Gombak United in the 2011 Singapore Cup.[6] He would however go on to score a hat trick for Etoile in a 6-1 thumping over Tanjong Pagar.[7]
