John Baird has opened up on the capture of Leigh Griffiths as the Mandurah City player/boss admitted: 'It's as simple as that'.
The former Celtic and Hibs striker is back at the Australia minnows for the full campaign after a short-stint at the end of last season. He made an impact during his first spell and after an extended period without a club he has made a big return.
The capture of the former Scotland international has brought media attention from all over the globe with many in touch with Baird. That means all eyes are on Mandurah City and the league that they play in which will help raise the profile. The capture of the 32-year-old was a no-brainer for Baird who says you've always got to try and snap up good players when they are available as he opened up on how Griffiths lifted the standards during his first stint and how things won't be any different for the season ahead.
