Leigh Griffiths has re-signed for Mandurah City for the remainder of their 2023 season.
The Australian semi-professional side play in the WA State League Division 1, where the former Celtic striker played twice at the end of 2022. He has not played for a professional club since leaving a spell in League One with Falkirk last season and will now make his way across the world for the rest of his new club's term.
Head Coach John Baird said: “I am very pleased for everyone involved with the club. To bring Leigh back is a credit and a display of the hard work everyone behind the scenes is putting in. Leigh wanted to come back after understanding our goals for the 2023 season. Leigh’s ability on the pitch is undoubtable. His experience speaks for itself and his signing is an opportunity for him to get back to enjoying his football in a positive and competitive environment. I have had Australian internationals contacting me asking to come down and train because they want to see Leigh play.”
Club President Nigel Mann added: “John and his staff have put together a strong squad for this season. The addition of a player of this calibre, with experience at an elite level, will assist in reaching our ambitions. An exciting reward for our members and fans.”
Griffiths scored over 100 times for Celtic and was part of the Scotland squad that qualified for Euro 2020. He's won seven Premiership titles and was last spotted training at Livingston to keep fitness up.
