Playing career

Early career

In 2010, Grevsmuhl played for the Australian Schoolboys.[3] From 2011 to 2013, he played for the North Queensland Cowboys' NYC team.[4][5] In October 2011, he scored two tries in the Cowboys' 2011 NYC Grand Final loss to the New Zealand Warriors.[6] On 21 April 2012, he played for the Queensland under-20s team against the New South Wales under-20s team.[7] On 13 October 2012, he played for the Junior Kangaroos against the Junior Kiwis.[8] On 21 August 2012, he was named on the interchange bench in the 2012 NYC Team of the Year.[9] In April 2013, he again played for the Queensland under-20s team against the New South Wales under-20s team.[10] On 10 October 2013, he signed a 2-year contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs starting in 2014.[11] He spent the 2014 season playing for the Rabbitohs feeder New South Wales Cup team the North Sydney Bears.[12]

2015

In the pre-season Grevsmuhl played in the Rabbitohs' Auckland Nines winning campaign,[13] the Charity Shield,[14] and scored a try on debut for the Indigenous All Stars in the annual All Stars match.[15][16] In Round 1, he made his NRL debut for the Rabbitohs against the Brisbane Broncos.[17] In Round 4 against the Parramatta Eels, he scored his first NRL try in the 29-16 loss at Parramatta Stadium.[18]

In Round 12 against the Gold Coast Titans, Grevsmuhl scored his first double in the 22-16 win at Cbus Super Stadium.[19] He finished his debut year in the NRL with 6 tries from 22 matches and was awarded with the 2015 John Sattler Rookie of the Year award.[20] On 7 October, he re-signed with the Rabbitohs on a 1-year contract.[21][22]

2016

In January, it was revealed that Grevsmuhl had signed a 2-year contract with the Penrith Panthers starting in 2017.[23][24] Selected in the QAS Emerging Origin squad,[25] on 5 February, he was one of eight players from the Maroons emerging camp who was banned from representing Queensland for 12-months after breaking curfew in Brisbane.[26] He was selected to play for the Indigenous All Stars, but withdrew before the match.[27]

On 20 May, Grevsmuhl joined the Panthers mid-season after being released from the remainder of his Rabbitohs contract.[28] He said that he was unwilling to play under Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire any further. Grevsmuhl said, "He’s a mind-game specialist. He breaks you down mentally. He questioned why I was there, the effort I was putting in, and questioned why I was talking to other clubs.[29]

On 25 November, Grevsmuhl was granted an immediate release from his Panthers' contract on compassionate grounds.[30]

In March, 2017 Gold Coast Titans announced the signing of Grevsmuhl for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
