Rioch started his career with his father's former club Luton Town, but after two years with the club he did not make a single appearance. He moved to Peterborough United in 1995, before joining Hull City a year later. After three years he joined Macclesfield, and after two years there he left for Shrewsbury Town. He spent a season with Northwich Victoria in 2002–03, before he returned to Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury sent him back to Northwich on loan in March 2004, and at the end of the season he rejoined Northwich permanently. Only a month later, he left to finish his career with Leigh RMI.[1]
Scotland selected Rioch for one of their youth sides, but he was ineligible to play for the national team because neither Greg or his parents were born in Scotland, even though his father had captained Scotland.[2]
On leaving Leigh, he was appointed manager at Danish club Køge BK. He spent two years there as manager, before returning to England in 2006 to manage first Manchester City's under-17s, then their reserves. After only a year, he left to manage Coventry City's academy side.[1]
