Aberdeen

Grimmer made his debut for Aberdeen under Mark McGhee on 7 April 2010, becoming the youngest ever Aberdeen player when he came on as a substitute for Steven MacLean in a 3–1 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox at the age of 16 years, 2 months and 13 days. Four days later he made his Pittodrie debut in a 3–1 defeat to St Johnstone. His next taste of first-team football came in the last two SPL games of the 2010–11 season, which included his first start in professional football in a 1–0 home defeat to St Mirren on 10 May. In January 2012, Aberdeen manager Craig Brown confirmed that English Premier League club Fulham had expressed interest in signing Grimmer. Brown also stated his belief that Grimmer would best develop his career by staying with the "Dons". Despite this, Grimmer agreed to join Fulham on 18 January, with Aberdeen receiving a £200,000 fee plus incentives.

Grimmer was a key player for Scotland youth teams as a teenager, winning caps for the under-15, under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-19s. He was called up to the Scotland under-21 side for the first time in August 2013 for a qualifier for the 2013 UEFA U-21 Championship. He did not play a game before he withdrew from the squad due to injury. His cap for the under-21s came in a 2–2 draw with Hungary at Tannadice Park on 5 March 2014.

Grimmer was described as "tenacious, aggressive, intelligent, accomplished on the ball and rarely makes a mistake" by the Staffordshire Sentinel in February 2014. Due to his strengths going forward he plays as an attacking full-back, though remains a "solid and dependable" defender and can also play as a wing-back.

Grimmer is a Manchester United supporter.
