Cai Griffiths

Tighthead prop, Cai Griffiths, signed for London Irish from Ospreys.

Griffiths, who can also operate at loose head, has made over 100 appearances for the Welsh province, competing in the Rabo Direct Pro 12, LV and Heineken Cups.

The front rower, who stands 188cm and weighs 120kgs, was part of the Osprey's side that won the Celtic League in 2005 and Magners League in 2007 and 2009.

The 28 year-old English qualified player has learnt his trade under the tutelage of Wales and British and Irish Lions tight head, Adam Jones, and has developed into a powerful scrummager and key lineout lifter. He is also very effective in the loose and possesses very good handling skills.

Cai has been loaned back to the Ospreys for the remainder of the season.
