Ospreys ‘original’ returns to the Liberty

Ospreys today announced the signing of experienced prop Cai Griffiths on a one-year deal.
The 30-year-old, an Ospreys ‘original’ with 123 regional appearances to his name from two prior spells, joins from London Welsh where he spent the last season.
He said: “It’s good to be back where I consider my home region.
“I had an amazing time with London Welsh last season and was part of a special experience, but I’m really happy to be rejoining the Ospreys. I’m looking forward to a fresh start and another challenge.
“There are good people here, good coaches, a strong squad, a great support base and facilities that have changed beyond recognition since we started in 2003. The Liberty Stadium is an incredible venue which is special to me, and it’s great to be back.
“I’ve played with and under Steve Tandy many, many times, and I know where he’s coming from with what he wants from the players and demands from the team. That will help with the transition back into the Ospreys environment, but there are a lot of new faces around the place so I’m looking at it as the start of a new era.
“I’m not a youngster anymore, I’m a bit older and I’ve experienced different environments. I’ve grown as a player and a person since I first left here in 2012, and hopefully I can make an impact with the Ospreys in the coming season.”
