Career

Grondin was born in Réunion.

Nantes

Grondin's years with FC Nantes were his longest spent with any club. Through 1998 to 2004 he helped his club stay in the French First Division while also winning two national cups in 1999 and 2000 and one championship in 2001. Internationally, he played his 2000–2002 seasons in the Division 1, and also took part in the UEFA Champions League for FC Nantes.

Le Mans

Grondin was eventually loaned to the Le Mans UC72 and played for a full season with them, catching the attention of the Valenciennes FC, who purchased him the next year.

Valenciennes

Grondin played for Valenciennes FC and helped them to win the French Second Division, hence earning Valenciennes entrance to the French First Division, which they had been denied from for more than a decade. In the 2006–07 season, Grondin was moved to second choice goalkeeper, replaced by Nicolas Penneteau.

Paris Saint-Germain

After terminating his contract with Valenciennes on 9 July 2009, the goalkeeper signed a one-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

gollark: I do like at least the possibility of infinite resources, since fully automating stuff does tend to eventually require it.
gollark: Is that actually available on new versions now?
gollark: "Interesting", yes.
gollark: * it's hard to balance because it's powerful
gollark: So first you're saying "it's hard to balance" and now "it's not very powerful"?
