After spells with Bolton Wanderers and Northern Nomads he joined Huddersfield Town in 1909, where he stayed for two years.[1] On 23 April 1910 he guested for Port Vale in their vital Potteries derby encounter with Stoke City Reserves. Grundy scored twice but the match was abandoned due to a pitch invasion. He agreed to assist the club 'in times of need', these times never came however and returned to Huddersfield. After leaving the Terriers, he had a short spell back at Blackpool before he finished his career with a second spell at Northern Nomads.[2]
