Grnčarov began his career at Macedonia with FK Vardar and FK Rabotnički before moving to Serbia where he played with OFK Belgrade between 2001 and 2003.
In 2003 he moved to Ukraine and signed with Metalurh Donetsk where he played until 2006. After spending the first half of the 2006/07 season on loan to FC Stal Alchevsk, Grncarov signed a deal with KAA Gent in the Belgian Jupiler League.[1] The season 2008/09 he moved on loan to Maccabi Petah Tikva.
At 9 June 2009 the board of APOEL announced that the player signed a contact with the team for 2 years until 2011. In his first season at APOEL he won the super cup (he scored a goal in the game) and also he appeared in four official 2009–10 UEFA Champions League group stage matches with APOEL. The next season he became an essential member of the team, and although he played in all matches as a central defender, he scored 6 goals in the league (all goals scored by head), and helped his team to win the 2010–11 Cypriot First Division. In May 2011, Grnčarov left APOEL after two years, when the club and the player did not agree on signing a new contract due to financial reasons. Grncarov signed a one year deal with Lierse on 5 July 2011 with an option for an additional season.
Grnčarov has made 21 appearances for the senior Republic of Macedonia national football team and scored one goal against Norway on 9 September 2009.[2]
