Club career
editMogren
editIn 2008, Grbić joined FK Mogren fromBudva. At the time of Grbić's arrival, Mogren was an ambitious team with coach Branislav "Brano" Milačić and memorable generation of players from theMontenegrin national team involving the likes ofRadoslav Batak,Ivan Janjušević,Janko Simović,Marko Ćetković, andDraško Božović.[3] Grbić was a member of the Mogren squads which won theMontenegrin First League in2009 and2011.
Olympiacos
editIn July 2011, Greek sideOlympiacos earned Grbić's signature in a€1 million transfer from Mogren.[4] During the team's summer camp that year, coachErnesto Valverde only employed Grbić as a substitute, preferring the likes ofKevin Mirallas.[5] He spent the rest of his time at Olympiacos on loan, first toLevadiakos, followed byHapoel Be'er Sheva,OFK Beograd, and finally toPartizan.[6][7]
Loan to OFK Beograd
editOn 5 September 2012 it was announced that Grbić joinedOFK Beograd in a six-month loan.[8] On 11 November 2012 Grbić scored the winning goal in a match againstRed Star Belgrade; it was OFK Beograd's first win over Red Star since 2003.[9] Less than two weeks later, Grbić scored a brace against Red Star in the2012–13 Serbian Cup quarter finals.[10] After a great half-season with the Serbian team, the loan deal was extended to June 2013.[11]
