Hrubec played with HC České Budějovice in the Czech Extraliga during the 2010–11 Czech Extraliga season.[2] He later joined HC Oceláři Třinec in 2012.

After eight seasons with Oceláři Třinec, Hrubec left the Czech Republic as a free agent. On 14 June 2019, he opted to sign a one-year contract with Chinese club Kunlun Red Star of the KHL.[3]

After ten games with Kunlun into his second season with the club in the 2020–21 campaign, Hrubec was traded to contending Russian club, Avangard Omsk, in exchange for financial compensation on 6 November 2020.[4]
