After seven years with Bayern Munich, he left the team to sign a one-year contract with SpVgg Greuther Fürth on 5 August 2009.[2] He recorded consistent performances throughout the 2009–10 season and became the starting goalkeeper for the team. In March 2010, he extended his contraxt with Greuther Fürth by four years until 2014.[4] At the end of the 2011–12 season, the club won the 2. Bundesliga and promoted to the Bundesliga. However, during the season, Grün was replaced as starter by Wolfgang Hesl.[5]

Grün left Wolfsburg when his contract expired in June 2018 and joined 2. Bundesliga club Darmstadt 98 on 3 September 2018.[9] There he did not make an appearance during the season, backing up Daniel Heuer Fernandes.[10]
