Having come through the Sydney FC academy system, Grimaldi was signed by former Sydney FC youth coach Rob Stanton shortly[1] after taking the helm at Newcastle Jets.

He re-signed for the Hunter club on a multi-year contract ahead of the 2024–25 A-League Men season[2] and scored a crucial goal in Newcastle's 4–1 victory of Western United in the 2024 Australia Cup qualification play-off.[3]
