Rams chase duel sided defender

Andy Griffin

Portsmouth's duel sided defensive player Andy Griffin could be Billy Davies' next signing according to reports. Although Griffin is primarily a defensive player he has been known to play in almost every position on the pitch and looked comfortable in them all.

The 28 year old from Wigan looked like returning to Stoke City. Griffin had been on loan there and played 34 games for Stoke during last season but the Rams are said to be interested in talking with Griffin and beating the Potters to the signing.

Griffin's usefullness around the pitch would make him valued part of the Rams squad. Griffin would also like another crack at the Premiership after losing his place in the Portsmouth side.
