The FFA and NAB today announced Griffiths as the fourth nominee for the 2009/10 NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award.

The 21-year-old Hyundai A-League rookie said he'd hoped to get regular game time this year to show his wares.

"It's been one of my goals really since the beginning of the season to at least get nominated," Griffiths said. "This is my first full season playing at the top level and that's been my aim - to get as many competitive games as possible."

"It's great to get some recognition and I'd like to thank NAB for their support in this award."

Determined by a panel of experts including Young Socceroos Head Coach Jan Versleijen, Socceroos Assistant Coach Graham Arnold and Fox Sports FC host Andy Harper, the NAB Young Footballer of the Year nominee for November, Rostyn Griffiths, was judged on his performance over rounds 13-16 of the Hyundai A-League 2009/10 competition.

Griffiths has been in solid form this season for Fury and was the club's first ever goal scorer. Since then, he's played a variety of roles from attacking midfielder to holding midfielder and centre half.

That versatility is something he's happy to provide to coach Ian Ferguson and while he's under no allusions, he'd like to think he can catch the eye of selectors and coaches for representative duties.

"There's obviously under-23s and things like that so I'd like to be looked at, that's for sure," Griffiths said. "I haven't played for a young squad for a while, so definitely if the chance comes up it would be good."

Griffiths is the fourth nominated player to be announced and joins Sydney FC's Kofi Danning, Melbourne Victory's Leigh Broxham and Brisbane Roar's Tommy Oar, as well as a further two players to be nominated over the coming months, to qualify to be named the NAB Young Footballer of the Year at the conclusion of the season.

The overall winner will receive a $10,000 personal investment portfolio, a NAB Private Client Manager to assist with a range of banking and financial services, and the inaugural NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award.

To acknowledge the vital role junior football clubs play in the development of today's young stars as they strive to reach their potential, NAB will also present a $3,000 equipment pack to Rostyn Griffiths' nominated junior club, Kingsley Football Club, Woodvale, Western Australia.
