The midfielder told the Lancashire Telegraph: "It’s not looking like I’m going to get in the first team at Blackburn soon so it comes to the stage where I need to be playing. No-one cares how many reserve games you’ve played.

“The experience has been vital for me and I’ve been quite surprised.

“I’ve got a year left at Blackburn and my future’s a bit up in the air.

“I’ll consider all opportunities that come my way, whether that’s Accrington or another club, just as long as I’m playing games.”

Griffiths was born in Perth but moved to England when he was only 14. He is quite at home now though.

He said: “Lucas Neill was at Blackburn when I was younger and I had chats with him and Brett Emerton, about things back home as much as anything, so that helped.”
