Former Everton and Chester goalkeeper Griffiths, 25, signs on for a second year at the New Bucks Head after his full debut campaign was cut short.

Griffiths played two games at the back end of the 2019/20 season, prior to the start of the pandemic, having joined from Chester, before boss Cowan opted to make his stay permanent.

And the goalkeeper played in all 17 of Telford's fixtures in the National League North last season, until it was terminated early.

The Kent-born shot-stopper lists Everton, Motherwell, AFC Fylde and Chester as his other permanent clubs.

Griffiths joins captain Adam Walker, defender Ross White and midfield star Dom McHale to have committed their futures to Telford for next season.
