Werder Bremen

2013–15

Grillitsch joined Werder Bremen on 1 July 2013. He split the 2013–14 season between the Werder Bremen U19's youth team and Werder Bremen II.[1] He made 15 appearances in the A-Junioren-Bundesliga Nord/Nordost scoring 11 goals[2] and made five appearances in the Regionalliga Nord for Werder Bremen II.[2] In the 2014–15 season, Grillitsch made 26 appearances scoring nine goals for Werder's reserve team.[3]

2015–16 season

Grillitsch made his first team debut during the 2015–16 season.[4] He played the full 120 minutes including extra-time in the 2–0 win against Würzburger Kickers in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on 8 August 2015, notably assisting Anthony Ujah for 1–0.[5] His first Bundesliga match was a 3–0 loss to Schalke 04 on matchday one on 15 August 2015. He replaced the veteran Clemens Fritz after 70 minutes at 2–0.[6] He also played for Werder Bremen II during the 2015–16 season.[4] Grillitsch achieved his first assist in the Bundesliga as Werder beat Mainz 3–1 on 24 October 2015 setting up Fin Bartels for the third goal. He played the full 90 minutes.[7] Four days later, Grillitsch prominently featured in Werder's 1–0 second-round DFB-Pokal victory over 1. FC Köln, providing a major goal-scoring chance for Ujah, playing multiple through-balls and almost scoring.[8][9][10] Afterwards, he was voted "Man of the match" by the club's fans.[11]

On 18 March 2017, Grillitsch scored his second goal of the 2016–17 season in a 3–0 win against Leipzig, a match that saw all three of Werder Bremen's Austrian players score in the club's highest win of the season.[12][13]
