17-year old Harry Griffiths signed first team forms recently, after continuing his excellent performances for the Development side in the West Midlands Regional League Division 1 and the Under 18's in the Midland Floodlit Youth League South.

The pacey forward has found the back of the net a total of 13 times in 17 appearances this campaign, also contributing 10 assists.

First team Manager Andy Crowther has been following "Griff's" progress, and after also impressing in training over recent weeks, the youngster signed on to give The Saltmen further attacking options.

Upon signing for the first team, Harry spoke to dsfc.news:
"I've played for John Neeson in the Under 18's and more recently the Development team for just over 2 years now.
Im really excited about signing for the first team and I'm really enjoying my football at the moment.
I've been working hard both on and off the pitch, so to sign for them shows that my hard work is paying off and is being recognised."
