She made her debut on the Danish national team on 14 October 2008, against Russia. [3]

She started playing handball at the age of 7 at the club KVIK Esbjerg. At the age of 16 in 2008 she made her debut for the local league side Team Esbjerg. She played 7 years for her childhood club, where she was considered a club icon.

The tenure ended in 2015 when there was a fall-out between her and the club's manager Lars Frederiksen. She believed she was overlooked and did not play enough, [4] and multiple times announced, that she would not play under Frederiksen. [5] The conflict ended in her signing for the Russian club Rostov-Don shortly before the 2015 World Women's Handball Championship.

After 15 months in Russia she switched to the Hungarian side Debreceni VSC, where she stayed for two years.

On 1 February 2019, it was announced that Lotte Grigel had signed a 2-year contract with Nantes Atlantique Handball. [6] After this contract she announced the end of her career.

After her playing career she has been a handball expert on the Danish TV channel Viaplay since 2022, where she covers Danish women's handball.
