In 1920–21, Grünfeld, brother of Bernhard Grünfeld, played for Hakoah Wien.[1] During the 1928-29 season, he played for Stuttgarter Kickers in the Bezirksliga Württemberg-Baden. In 1929, he briefly played for Hakoah Wien in the Austrian Nationalliga before moving to the United States where he joined New York Hakoah in the Eastern Professional Soccer League for two games. The EPSL ceased operation just after Grünfeld arrived and merged with the American Soccer League. When that happened, New York Hakoah merged with Brooklyn Hakoah of the ASL to form the Hakoah All-Stars.
