Griffith made his first-class debut against Leicestershire in late August 1967, scoring 11 and 0 and going wicketless in his four overs.He played one more game that season, taking the single wicket of Leicestershire's Peter Marner,and three more in 1968, but did not achieve any notable successes.
1969 was the first season in which Griffith played a significant part, turning out in nine first-class and one List A games. Against Oxford University in June, he claimed a second-innings 7/41, comfortably his best first-class innings return.He played just one first-team game in 1970, being almost entirely confined to the Second XI.
In 1971, he played a substantial part in Worcestershire's season, appearing in 24 first-class games while scoring 575 runs at just under 20 and taking 32 wickets at a little over 37. He also played 14 List A matches.
