Club career

edit

Born in Delft, Gronsveld started his youth career with the academy of local Vitesse Delft. In April 2014, he joined the academy of Feyenoord.[2] In June 2015, he was promoted to the senior team and was issued the 25 number jersey.[3] He made his debut in a pre-season friendly game against Heerenveen, but was suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and was ruled out of play for almost the entire season. He managed to recover in the following April.[4]

After having played no competitive match for Feyenoord, Gronsveld joined FC Emmen on a two-year deal on 10 June 2016.[5] However, in the following month, it was announced that he had undergone a hip surgery and was ruled out of play for four months.[6] On 13 January 2018, he made his first team debut against FC Eindhoven.[7] On 9 May 2018, his contract was extended for another year.[8]

After playing for FC Dordrecht in the 2019–20 season and missing the second half of the season due to hip injury, he retired from playing football to continue his education.[9]
