Rugby league career

Hunslet

Griffiths switched to rugby league, and joined Hunslet in 1946, and went on to make 167 appearances for the club.[4]

Doncaster

Griffiths, who had been transfer listed by Hunslet, was signed by newly-founded Doncaster in July 1951.[5] He played in Doncaster's inaugural league game on 18 August 1951, scoring two conversions in a 10–3 victory over Wakefield Trinity.[6] He played 59 games for Doncaster,[7] and was the club's top points scorer for the 1951–52 and 1952–53 seasons.[8][9]
