Tom Griffiths (born 15 November 1995) is an English rugby union player who represents Saracens in the Aviva Premiership.
Originally from Gloucester, Griffiths was part of Hartpury RFC in winning their fourth AASE title back in April 2013. It led to call ups to both England U18s and to England U20s where he competed in the 2014 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[1]
He became part of Saracens academy squad back in 2015 where he was dual-registered to Bedford Blues in the RFU Championship for both the 2015-16 and 2016-17 season.[2][3]
On 1 February 2017, Griffiths signed his first professional contract with Saracens, thus promoted to the senior squad from the 2017-18 season.[4]
