Ken Griffiths
Ken started his playing career with Torquay United as an apprentice in 2000. He represented Torquay at U17, U18 & U19 level as well as several reserve and first team outings. While at Torquay Ken had the benefit of working closely with Neville Southall. He has since returned to work with the Centre of Excellence keepers at Torquay. From Torquay Ken signed as a professional with ambitious Hereford United in the Nationwide Conference. His potential as an 18 year old was clear and this soon resulted in Ken being invited to train with Premiership clubs Aston Villa and Leicester City. Several weeks were spent at each club working closely with experienced keepers such as Ian Walker (ex England) Tim Flowers (ex England) and Conrad Logan (current Leicester City keeper) and Peter Enckleman and Stefan Postma at Aston Villa. One of Ken’s highlights of his career was representing Wales at U19 level. After several seasons in the professional game Ken now combines a semi professional football career with running his coaching clinics. Kens semi professional clubs include Clyst Rovers, Taunton Town, Bideford AFC and Dawlish Town. He is current No.1 at Saltash United. Ken has gained much experience and is now eager to pass on that knowledge to future goalkeeping stars.
