Rhys Griffiths Biography

Rhys Griffiths is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on March 1, 1980 in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. Rhys Griffiths, a Welsh footballer who was born 1 March 1980, is the current manager of Cymru Premier side Pen-y-Bont.

Griffiths tried out Aarau’s Swiss Super League team in December 2007. He said that Aarau and Llanelli have a connection so the next step is up to the gods. The following month, he signed a two-year contract with Llanelli. In 2011-12, Griffiths won the Golden Boot award six times with Llanelli. He scored two more goals than Greg Draper from The New Saints. Griffiths returned to Port Talbot Town after six seasons at Llanelli where he scored 180 goals over 181 league games.

Griffiths joined Newport County in February 2013. “Rhys is a proven goalscorer and when we knew that he could become available we kept an eye on the situation,” said County manager Justin Edinburgh. “We’re delighted to have him on board going into a crucial part of the season.” In the 2012,13 season his opportunities were limited due to requiring a hernia operation, but he was part of the Newport squad that finished third in the league, making ten appearances, to qualify for the Conference Premier play-offs. The club defeated Wrexham 2–0 in play-off final at Wembley Stadium to return to the Football League after a 25-year absence with promotion to League Two. In July 2013, Griffiths’ contract with Newport County was cancelled by mutual consent.

He scored on his debut in a 3–2 win against Northampton Town in September. Having recovered from a calf injury suffered at the start of the season, Griffiths came on as a half-time substitute and scored with “a confident finish” before returning to the bench to receive treatment for a recurrence of the injury. His goal in a 4–1 win at Barnet in October took his tally to three in his first five league appearances, ruining Edgar Davids start as manager. “I prefer to think of it as three goals in two starts, rather than five games,” said Griffiths, who donated the fee he received for an interview on Soccer Saturday that weekend to Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre Wales. “In the Welsh Premier League I had a reputation and I had to score goals. Here, I just want the team to win. I would love to be the one who scores every goal but, ultimately, as long as we are winning I’m happy.” Griffiths failed to score again over the next two months and, after making 17 appearances in league and cup competition, was told that he was free to leave the club by new manager John Sheridan. He had his contract cancelled by mutual consent in January 2013.

The Wales semi-professional team capped Griffiths six times. His first call-up was for the 2007 Four Nations Tournament, which took place in Scotland. Griffiths made his debut against Scotland in May 2007. He scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in a win of 1-0 at Victoria Park. Three days later, he played in a 1-1 draw at Dudgeon Park with Republic of Ireland and was defeated by England C at Grant Street Park by a 3-0 score on 27 May. The tournament was won by Wales. Griffiths scored a goal that was disallowed in the 2008 tournament, which was held in Wales. It occurred in a 1-1 draw at Belle Vue with Scotland on 20 May 2008. He was also involved in a 6-2 victory against Gibraltar on the same day, and a 3-0 loss to England C on May 24th. Wales came in second place again.
