Gniel debuted in the VFL for Geelong. He was recruited by the Carlton Football Club and made his debut for the Blues in round 2 of the 1942 season. After winning the best and fairest award in 1943 he decided to leave the Blues and return to Geelong to finish his career, being named captain in 1947.
