Club career

=Mogren=

In 2008, Grbić joined FK Mogren from Budva. At the time of Grbić's arrival, Mogren was an ambitious team with coach Branislav "Brano" Milačić and memorable generation of players from the Montenegrin national team involving the likes of Radoslav Batak, Ivan Janjušević, Janko Simović, Marko Ćetković, and Draško Božović.[http://www.vijesti.me/sport/ko-ostane-posljednji-neka-ugasi-svjetlo-mogren-iskljucen-iz-juzne-regije-930518] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180616030621/http://www.vijesti.me/sport/ko-ostane-posljednji-neka-ugasi-svjetlo-mogren-iskljucen-iz-juzne-regije-930518|date=2018-06-16}} Vijesti: Ko ostane posljednji, neka ugasi svjetlo: Mogren isključen iz Južne regije {{in lang|sr}}.

=Partizan=

On 13 July 2013 Grbić joined Partizan on loan from Olympiacos.{{cite news | url=http://sport.blic.rs/Fudbal/Domaci-fudbal/236420/Partizanu-se-ostvarila-Zvezdina-zelja-Petar-Grbic-na-pozajmici-u-Humskoj | title=Partizanu se ostvarila Zvezdina želja: Petar Grbić na pozajmici u Humskoj! | language=Serbian | publisher=sport.blic.rs | date=13 July 2013 | accessdate=13 July 2013}} In January 2014, Olympiacos officially traded Grbić to Partizan in an exchange for Marko Šćepović.{{cite web|url=https://www.b92.net/sport/fudbal/vesti.php?yyyy=2013&mm=09&dd=05&nav_id=750082|title=B92: Grbić i 600.000 evra za Šćepovića|language=Serbian|date=September 5, 2013|accessdate=February 2, 2018}} On 18 March 2015 Grbić scored the opening goal in the 2015 Serbian Cup semi-final, after which he ran to his team's bench to put on a second left cleat.{{cite web|url=http://www.dnevno.rs/sport/fudbal/50293/petar-grbic-covek-kojem-se-premijer-izvinio-evo-sta-je-aleksandar-vucic-odgovorio-fudbaleru-partizana|title=Dnevno.rs: Petar Grbić, čovek kojem se premijer izvinio: Evo šta je Aleksandar Vučić odgovorio fudbaleru Partizana|language=Serbian|date=March 18, 2015|accessdate=February 2, 2018}} The stunt was meant as a response to Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić, who commented before the match that "some players in Partizan have two left legs". Vučić apologized on his Twitter profile and congratulated Grbić in his tweet.

=Akhisar Belediyespor=

In January 2016, Grbić moved to Turkish club Akhisar Belediyespor, where he initially saw playing time but was subsequently loaned to Adana Demirspor, a team which had just been promoted to the Turkish Süper Lig.{{cite web|url=http://fudbal.hotsport.rs/2017/12/31/hotsport-intervju-petar-grbic-u-buducnost-nisam-dosao-da-se-oprostim-vec-da-napravimo-dobre-rezultate-mogao-sam-vise-u-humskoj-foto-video/|author=Petar Lazić|title=HotSport: HOTSPORT INTERVJU – PETAR GRBIĆ: U Budućnost nisam došao da se oprostim, već da napravimo dobre rezultate – mogao sam više u Humskoj|language=Serbian|date=December 31, 2017|accessdate=February 2, 2018}} In an interview with Serbian sports portal HotSport, Grbić suggested that the financial situation in Adana Demirspor was unstable at the time he left.
