Groves started his career at Darlington and made his debut appearance for the club as a substitute in the last 13 minutes of the game against Chester City on 2 May 2009.[2] He was released by the club following their relegation from League Two, along with 13 other players.[3]

In August 2010 he signed for Blyth Spartans,[4] making his debut, coming on as a second-half substitute, in the home game against Corby Town on 21 August 2010. Following the release of Stephen Harrison, Groves has become the Spartans' first choice right back.[5] Groves was released by Blyth prior to the 2012–13 season.[6]

Spennymoor Town

After being released by Blyth, Groves was picked up by Spennymoor Town[7] during the summer of 2012. Groves missed out on going to Wembley with his teammates for the 2013 FA Vase Final after being admitted to hospital with a twisted bowel and appendicitis and was recovering for a few months after a couple of operations.[8]
