Gareth Griffiths player profile:
Gareth Griffiths was a tall but injury-plagued centre-half who was snapped up by Port Vale manager John Rudge from Rhyl for just £1,000 in 1993.
He rapidly became a key part of the Port Vale defence and was regularly linked with big money moves in the press. However, a succession of injuries restricted his first-team appearances and scuppered any chance of a big money move.
However, the central defender offered a glimpse of his genuine quality when fit with 31 appearances in the 1996-97 season when the club gained its highest league position. He also spent a brief loan spell at Shrewsbury Town in November 1997 as he sought to regain match fitness.
After a five year stay in Burslem, Griffiths moved to Wigan Athletic on a free transfer in 1998 and later had spells with both Rochdale and Northwich Victoria.
