Daggers confirm they've had no offers for Griffiths
10:24am Wednesday 4th June 2008
DAGENHAM and Redbridge have denied that they have received offers for tough-tackling full-back Scott Griffiths.
The 22-year-old played a key role for the club as it secured its League Two status last season and rumours have since surfaced that Championship sides Reading and Ipswich were lining up bids for the player.
But Daggers chief executive Steve Thompson confirmed to BBC Essex that no such offer had been tabled for Griffiths, shrugging the speculation offf as "just an internet rumour".
However, Thompson added that the club would never prevent any player from wanting to improve themsleves at a higher level.
He added: "We sell the club to potential signings on the basis that if a club higher up comes in with a reasonable offer then we would not prevent them from furthering their career."
Griffiths has made almost 150 appearances for the Daggers since joining the Victoria Road outfit from non-league Aveley in August 2004.

The Guardian sent its very own cardsharp, sports reporter ROSS DAVIES, to try and win the special prize by knocking out Mr Al Turk.
