He was signed from the Queensland Academy of Sport. The Roar allowed him to play for then current Brisbane Premier League champions, Rochedale Rovers Football Club, prior to the commencement of the A-League's third season to maintain match sharpness.[1]
On 24 December 2008, Grossman announced that he had signed with A-League expansion team North Queensland Fury for the 2009–10 season.[2] During the season he has found himself the unfamiliar role of Right Back, to which he has excelled in and reveled at the chance of first team starting football. Coach Ian Ferguson elected to play him there largely due to the extensive injury list at North Queensland Fury.
