The two parties took part in a hearing over the last two days in front of independent arbitrator Deborah Healy at the FFA headquarters in Sydney.

The hearing came after Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) filed a grievance procedure with the national governing body on behalf of Griffiths last week.

The independent arbitrator is to decide whether the A-League club reneged on an alleged agreement to sell Griffiths to Chinese Super League Champions Beijing Guoan for $350,000.

Beijing began pre-season training on Sunday. The Chinese club want Griffiths registered for the Asian Champions League registration deadline date of January 23.
