[5] Grehan signed for Alloa Athletic in the 2012 summer transfer window. [6] [7] However, after only one season at Alloa, he was released by Paul Hartley in May 2013. [8] Grehan then returned to Stranraer for the 2013–14 season in June 2013. [9] Grehan departed Stranraer after one season and signed for League One rivals Stenhousemuir on 6 June 2014. [10] Grehan had a short spell with Arbroath in 2015, [11] before dropping back into junior football with Kilbirnie Ladeside in February 2016. [12]
