Leigh Griffiths makes football comeback as former Celtic striker returns to Australia in lower leagues

Leigh Griffiths has re-signed for Mandurah City for the remainder of their 2023 season.

The Australian semi-professional side play in the WA State League Division 1, where the former Celtic striker played twice at the end of 2022. He has not played for a professional club since leaving a spell in League One with Falkirk last season and will now make his way across the world for the rest of his new club's term.

Head Coach John Baird said: “I am very pleased for everyone involved with the club. To bring Leigh back is a credit and a display of the hard work everyone behind the scenes is putting in. Leigh wanted to come back after understanding our goals for the 2023 season. Leigh’s ability on the pitch is undoubtable. His experience speaks for itself and his signing is an opportunity for him to get back to enjoying his football in a positive and competitive environment. I have had Australian internationals contacting me asking to come down and train because they want to see Leigh play.”
