The Manchester-born right-sided centre-back has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-18 level, courtesy of the fact that his father and both sets of grandparents are Irish.
Standing 6 feet 4 tall, Grogan won't be difficult to pick out and manager Tiernan Lynch said he would be a real addition to the squad.
"We've struggled a bit with injuries and unavailability across the back line this season and Christy will certainly offer us good options there.
"He's only 20 but he's been playing at senior level for a while and we're looking forward to working with him."
Christy will travel to Sofia along with the other new signings, Ellis Chapman and Tom Norcott.
