He played for Köln for seven years, including 15 games in the UEFA Cup. In 1995, he moved to 1. FC Kaiserslautern, winning the DFB-Pokal in 1996. He moved to VfL Wolfsburg in September 1997, the same season that Kaiserslautern won the German title. He remained with Wolfsburg until his playing career finished in 2003.

Coaching career

Greiner was the co-assistant of MTV Gifhorn from 2006 until 2008, during which time he made a comeback as a player due to an injury crisis.
