Anthony Griffith

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. Griffith and Jerome also played for Yorkshire Counties. Griffith went on to play for Glasshoughton Welfare, where he would win the Castleford FA Challenge Cup with the under-19 team.

Doncaster Rovers

Griffith signed with Doncaster Rovers in 2005. However, he never made it as a regular first-team player at "Donny" and was instead loaned out to four lower league clubs over two years. On 21 March 2006, he joined Oxford United on a month-long loan. However, he never made it onto the pitch for the League Two side. On 23 November 2007, he joined Darlington, again of League Two, on another one month. He made four appearances for the club. He then spent three months with Conference club Stafford Rangers from 26 January 2007, making a total of twenty appearances. 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. He then spent the entire 2007–08 season on loan at Halifax Town. He made close to forty appearances before returning to Doncaster, where he was subsequently released. 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".

Port Vale

Griffith was signed by Port Vale…

Griffith was raised in the Brackenhall area of Huddersfield, but qualified for the Montserrat national side through his Montserrat-born father. He received his international call-up in June 2011 to compete in the nation's World Cup qualifying campaign, despite never having visited the tiny island nation of 4,600 inhabitants. He was also appointed as team captain. Most of his teammates were amateur players. Before his call-up Montserrat had recorded only two victories in their 25-game history, both coming against Anguilla in 1995. His debut came against Belize, who beat Montserrat 5–2 at Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, Trinidad and Tobago on 15 June. The second leg was postponed over FIFA's concerns with the Belize government, leaving the possibility of a bye for Montserrat. However, the match was rescheduled, and Belize progressed with a 3–1 win (8–3 on aggregate).

In September 2018, Griffith began coaching the under-14s at the Port Vale Academy. He was also appointed as first-team coach at Congleton Town two months later. On 7 November 2019, he was appointed as Congleton Town's joint-manager, alongside Phil Hadland. The duo were replaced by Ryan Austin on 29 April 2020, with Griffith remaining as a player-coach. He was appointed as a professional development phase lead coach at Port Vale in October 2020. 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. 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. He began training to be a referee in September 2024.

Griffith was usually a popular player with fans due to his 'tigerish displays'. However, this also left him with a poor disciplinary record. He was best suited to the right-back or midfield position. He struggled with his inconsistent and at times inaccurate distribution skills, though he had a decent passing range. He was praised for his tremendous work ethic by Port Vale's assistant manager Mark Grew. He admitted to not training very well, saying that this was due to him putting so much work into his performances in matches every week.

"Griff is tenacious, he likes a tackle and he's got a great engine. Certainly, with Griff, we know he's going to give us 100 per cent effort, he's going to win his tackles and get around the pitch – I like that." In addition to his on-the-pitch skills, he was considered a good character. Micky Adams declared, "he's a great character, a good bloke, and you can rely on him. If my daughter came home with him, I'd be delighted."
