Career[]

Born in Georgetown, British Guiana, Griffith began his career at Kettering Town before moving to Cardiff City in October 1989 for £60,000 as a replacement for Jimmy Gilligan. He made his debut for the Bluebirds against Huddersfield Town and scored after just nineteen minutes.^[1] Mostly playing as a winger for Cardiff until he moved into a defensive midfield position later in his spell at the club. He eventually left the club in 1995 on a free transfer to Barry Town, helping the side to a treble in the 1996–97 season winning the Welsh Premier League, Welsh Cup and Welsh League Cup, including scoring both goals in the 2–1 Welsh Cup final win over Cwmbran Town.^[2]

Coaching[]

Since his retirement he has moved into coaching and currently holds a UEFA B licence and has worked in coaching schemes in the UK and Australia.^[3] He helps run a health and fitness suite at Ystrad Mynach College.

In February 2008 he took over as manager of Troedyrhiw but stepped down as manager in May 2009.^[4]
