Club career


Gros played in France for Le Havre and in his native Réunion for JS Saint-Pierroise before signing for Scottish club Kilmarnock in September 2010. After making a substitute appearance, he scored on his first start for the club in March 2011 against St Mirren. Gros signed a new three-year contract with the club in August 2013.

In June 2014 Gros went on trial with English club Oldham Athletic. On 21 July 2014, Gros signed a one-month contract with the club. Oldham manager Lee Johnson told Gros to prove his fitness in order to earn a longer contract with the club. Gros was released by the club on 21 August 2014.
He then returned to France, playing with Toulouse Rodéo and AS Vitré.
Gros then joined FC Fleury 91 in the summer of 2020.
Gros rejoined JS Saint-Pierroise in the summer of 2022.




International career


Gros has distant Malagasy ancestry, a great-great-grandmother, a generation that usually exceeds those allowed by the FIFA eligibility rules (parents and grandparents). However, he was called up to the Madagascar national team on 11 August 2018. He made his professional debut for Madagascar in a 1–0 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Equatorial Guinea on 16 October 2018.




Personal life
