He made his first appearance for Chievo Verona on 11 January 2009, which resulted in a 1–1 draw against FC Bologna.

Grippo signed for Lugano in summer 2011. After only one year he transferred to Servette on 15 July 2012, signing a 3-year contract.[3] He made his debut in a 5–1 loss away defeat against Lausanne-Sport.

On 19 December 2013, the Swiss Football League (SFL) announced that Grippo had signed for Vaduz. On 13 June 2017, he signed a two-year contract with Spanish Segunda División side Real Zaragoza.[4] On 13 January 2020, he signed for Segunda side Real Oviedo.[5]
