Early career
Born and raised in Liverpool, Grivosti played for local side MSB Woolton from Under-6 level until moving to the youth academy at Bolton Wanderers. Grivosti was loaned out to Skelmersdale United in January 2017. He made one appearance for the club, a 4–1 loss to Blyth Spartans.

After being released by Bolton Wanderers in the summer of 2017, he signed for Scottish side Ross County where he initially played for their reserve side, winning the North of Scotland League.

Ross County
He made his senior debut for Ross County on 20 October 2018 against Ayr United in the Scottish Championship, coming on as a substitute for Callum Morris in the second half. He scored his first goal for Ross County in April 2019, in a 1–0 win against Dunfermline Athletic.

On 1 September 2021 Grivosti was sent on loan to Scottish League Two side Elgin City until January 2022. He returned to Ross County after 13 appearances and 1 goal for Elgin in all competitions, with County manager Malky Mackay stating he was considering securing a loan move at a higher level for Grivosti during the January transfer window.

St Patrick's Athletic
