Background

Griffin was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He is the younger brother to Josh and Darrell Griffin.

Griffin previously played rugby union while growing up in Oxford, before moving to rugby league alongside his brothers. He played as a junior for Stanley Rangers.[2]

In October 2023, working together with former Castleford teammate Bureta Faraimo, Griffin released a children's book titled Harvey Hippo Finds His Talent.[5]

Career

Hull Kingston Rovers

Griffin signed for Hull Kingston Rovers on a two-year deal in September 2011.[6] He had been playing in Australia for the Queanbeyan Kangaroos, a feeder team to the Canberra Raiders, and was originally set to sign for Crusaders until they withdrew from Super League.[6]

Griffin made his Super League debut for Hull KR against the Widnes Vikings on 29 July 2012.[7] He went on to make a total of 20 appearances throughout his 2 seasons at Hull KR.

In July 2014, shortly after London's relegation from Super League was mathematically confirmed, Griffin signed a one-year deal to join the Salford Red Devils for 2015.[9] He would be joining his older brothers Darrell and Josh who already played for the club.[10]

Griffin played alongside both of his brothers for the first time at the 2015 Magic Weekend against the Widnes Vikings, just days after the death of their father.[11] He signed a two-year contract extension with Salford in June 2015.[12]

Griffin was assigned squad number 16 for 2020.[20] He made his Castleford debut on 2 February against the Toronto Wolfpack.[21] He scored his first try for the club against Hull FC in the 6th round of the Challenge Cup.[22]
