He joined Port Vale as an amateur in June 1945 and signed professional forms in February 1950, making his debut under Gordon Hodgson two months later in the 1949–50 season.

1951

He scored his first goal at Vale Park on 31 March 1951 in a 4–3 win over Gillingham, and finished 1950–51 with two goals in nine games.

1952

He hit 14 goals in 47 games in 1952–53, as the "Valiants" finished second in the Third Division North, one point behind Oldham Athletic.

1953

He helped the club to the Third Division North title and the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 1953–54.

Grffiths played in every match of the club's 1953–54 FA Cup run prior to missing the semi-final defeat to West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park.

He failed a late fitness test due a knee injury he initially picked up in the Second Round victory over Southport.

He bagged a hat-trick in a 6–0 demolition of Rochdale on 28 November 1953, striking 16 goals in 36 league games in 1953–54, as Vale won the Third Division North title by an eleven-point margin.

1954

He hit two goals past Tottenham Hotspur of the First Division in front of a crowd of 50,684 at White Hart Lane in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup in 1954–55, though Vale lost the game 4–2.

Griffiths went on to finish the season with seven goals in 33 games.
