Anthony James Griffith (born 28 October 1986) is a former professional footballer and coach who is the assistant manager at Northern Premier League Division One West club Congleton Town.

He returned to Port Vale on loan in March 2013 and helped the club to secure promotion out of League Two in 2012–13 before re-joining permanently in the summer.

As a youth, Griffith played for Stile Common alongside Cameron Jerome, Fraizer Campbell, and Reuben Noble-Lazarus, who all went on to enjoy careers as professional players.

Despite only featuring in the first two rounds of the competition, he received a Football League Trophy winners medal after Doncaster won the 2007 final.

Speaking after Griffith was sent off for the third time during his loan spell, Halifax manager Chris Wilder said: "We were looking to take him permanently but I won't be now".

[13] He was transfer listed in late September, along with the entire Port Vale squad, after Adams saw his team slip to a third consecutive defeat.

[14] He remained in the first-team however, and was playing in the form of his life under Adams,[15] striking up a midfield pairing with Tommy Fraser, who he also shared a house with.

"On 28 August 2010, Griffith scored from 25 yards (23 m) at Vale Park past Torquay United's Scott Bevan in a 2–1 reverse.

[22] The goal would prove to be more important to Griffith himself and the Torquay opposition than to his club, the fine strike his first in the Football League,[23] and his first in Port Vale colours.

[28] On 14 October, he marked his 150th appearance for the "Valiants" with his second Football League goal – a 35-yard strike past Northampton Town.

[29] His good form caused assistant manager Mark Grew to worry that other clubs at a higher level might wish to sign him.

[30] He was named in the League Two Team of the Week for his performance in the 1–0 win over Rotherham United at the Don Valley Stadium on 21 January.

[31] At the end of the season, the club's female support voted him "Mr Shirt of the Back", breaking Louis Dodds' three-year run.

[33] He proved unable to turn down the offer of League One football, and quickly signed a two-year deal with Leyton Orient.

[34] Manager Russell Slade signed Griffith as a replacement for departing captain Stephen Dawson, and reportedly doubled his wages to tempt him down south to Brisbane Road.

[42] He later returned to Vale Park to train, with coach Mark Grew saying "The manager is always ready to help someone like Griff who has been such a good servant to the club.

[53] In July 2015, Griffith signed a one-year deal with National League side Altrincham in a move that reunited him with his former Vale boss Lee Sinnott.

[58] Six months later he joined North West Counties League Premier Division side Congleton Town.

[60] Griffith was raised in the Brackenhall area of Huddersfield,[5] but qualified for the Montserrat national side through his Montserrat-born father.

His debut came against Belize, who beat Montserrat 5–2 at Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, Trinidad and Tobago on 15 June.

[72] Interim manager Danny Pugh had to start self-isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 on 18 January 2021, leaving Griffith, Frank Sinclair and Billy Paynter to take over first-team duties in his absence.

[73] He was appointed as assistant manager to Richard Duffy at Congleton Town, who were crowned Midland League Premier Division champions at the end of the 2023–24 season.
