Ryan Griffiths (born August 21, 1981 in Sydney ) is an Australian football player . Griffiths played for clubs in Romania and China during his professional career and, like his two older brothers, the twins Adam and Joel , played for the Australian national team.

Career

Griffiths began his career in 1999 in the National Soccer League with Northern Spirit FC . In 2002 he moved to league rivals Newcastle United , where he met his two brothers and for whom he was active until the league was closed after the 2003/04 season. Like many other Australian footballers, he moved abroad after the end of the national league, Griffiths signed a contract with the Romanian first division club Național Bucharest . After he came in the first season only seven appearances, the high-scoring winger was in his second season in Romania regularly in the starting lineup, scored in 27 appearances seven goals and was also in the 0: 1 defeat in the cup final against Rapid Bucharest to Contingent.

This was followed by a move to local rivals Rapid Bucharest in the summer of 2006, but Griffiths could not prevail and was awarded to the Chinese first division club Liaoning FC in early 2007 , a process that was repeated in 2008. After Liaoning's relegation, he played the following season on loan for Beijing Guoan , where his brother Joel was also on loan at the time. Both brothers scored eight league goals each during the season, helping Guoan to the first championship in club history. For the 2010 season he and his brother were signed by Beijing Guoan. In early 2011 he returned to Australia and rejoined the Newcastle United Jets . With the Jets, he missed qualifying for the play-offs for the championship in the following seasons. At the end of February 2013 he returned to China and joined second division Beijing Enterprises . After the end of the season, he moved to Australia for Adelaide United in early 2014 . There he was only used four times and left Adelaide in March 2014 to join Sarawak FA in Malaysia. In December 2015, he moved to South China AA in Hong Kong.

National team

Ryan Griffiths took part in the 2004 Olympic football tournament in Greece with the Australian Olympic team. He was a substitute in three games, including the 1-0 defeat in the quarter-finals to Iraq.

In 2006 he made his debut under national coach Graham Arnold in the Australian senior team . His first appearance was in the sportingly insignificant - Australia was already qualified - qualifier for the 2007 Asian Cup against Kuwait, when he came on after 30 minutes for Ahmad Elrich . By 2008, four appearances followed by substitution in friendly games, most recently under Arnold's successor Pim Verbeek in March 2008 against Singapore.
