Granaas is a youth product of Stoppen SK and Mjøndalen IF, but joined Fredrikstad in Eliteserien in January 2025.[1][4][5] He signed his first professional contract with the club the following March.[6]
He made his professional debut with Fredrikstad in a 4–0 Norwegian Football Cup win over Sarpsborg FK on 12 April 2025. He came on for Patrick Metcalfe at the 59th minute.[7][8]
