HEREFORD United have snapped up promising teenage goalkeeper Kenneth Griffiths as back-up for first choice shot-stopper Matt Baker.

Nineteen-year-old Griffiths was released by Third Division Torquay United at the end of last season and had been on trial at Leicester City over the summer. Griffiths, who has sealed a one-year deal, came on as a 79th-minute substitute for Baker in United's 3-2 home defeat to Swindon Town on Tuesday.
