Douglas Ricardo Grolli (born 5 October 1989), known as Douglas Grolli, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Avispa Fukuoka.

Career

Grolli was born in São Miguel do Oeste, Santa Catarina, and was a Chapecoense youth graduate. Promoted to the first team in 2008, he only became a regular starter during the 2011 season, as his side was crowned champions of Campeonato Catarinense.

On 14 October 2011, Grolli signed for Série A club Grêmio. ^[2] A fourth choice behind Werley, Vilson and Naldo, he made his debut in the category on 17 June 2012, coming on as a first-half substitute for the former in a 0–1 away loss against Náutico; he was also sent off during the match. ^[3]

On 13 May 2013, Grolli was loaned to São Caetano until the end of the year. ^[4] On 27 December, he moved to Londrina also in a temporary deal, but after appearing sparingly, ^[5] he returned to Chapecoense the following 30 July, on loan until December. ^[6]

On 9 February 2015, Grolli signed a permanent deal with Cruzeiro. ^[7] Again rarely used, he served subsequent loans at Ponte Preta ^[8] and Chapecoense. ^[9]

On 4 January 2019, Grolli signed a contract with Marítimo. ^[10]
