Gruda was born in Macedonia but his family relocated to Sweden and Luleå the year after his birth.[1] There he spent his youth years at IFK Luleå before moving to Degerfors IF[2] and then Allsvenskan club Gefle IF in 2010 after having spent a year playing first team football with his original club. After leaving Gefle two years later he played for second tier JIPPO in Finland[3] before signing with Nyköpings BIS in March 2013.[4] On 11 August 2013, Gruda left Nyköpings BIS for Umeå FC, but returned to his old club the next season.
In November 2019, he retired from playing, citing persistent knee problems.[5]
