In 2019 Grüllich competed in World Darts Federation (WDF) events, he won his first title at the Sylt Classic Youth.[5][6] Grüllich was also a member of the German national team at the WDF World Cup Youth, where he reached the quarter-finals of the singles competition and lost to Keelan Kay.

At the 2023 PDC World Youth Championship, he finished top of his group before he was eliminated by eventual finalist Gian van Veen.

At the beginning of 2024, Grüllich missed out on a PDC Tour Card at the PDC Qualifying School when he missed several match darts. At the end of 2023, he was ranked in 16th place on the Development Tour rankings, which qualified him for the 2024 UK Open, but he was eliminated in the first round. At the beginning of June 2024, he was able to reach his first PDC Challenge Tour quarter-final in August he went a step further in the same tournament series by reaching the semi-finals.
