Club career

Griffiths started his career with Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 33 goals for the club's under–18 side in the 2017–18 season.[2] In the summer of 2018, refusing to sign professional with Tottenham, he was courted by many clubs, such as RB Leipzig, Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.[3] On 1 August 2018, he joined Lyon on a four-year deal.[2] He spent three-and-a-half years with Lyon, largely playing for the club's B team in the Championnat National 2.

On 31 January 2022, Griffiths signed for League One side Doncaster Rovers for an undisclosed fee, in a two-and-a-half year deal.[4] A day later, he made his professional debut as a second-half substitute in a 5–0 loss to Rotherham United.[5]

On 6 March 2023, Griffiths joined National League side Yeovil Town on loan until the end of the season.[6] On 10 November 2023, his contract at Doncaster was cancelled by mutual consent.[7]

International career

In May 2017, Griffiths made his debut for England U17 as a late substitute in a 3–1 win over Norway U17.[8]
