Jamie Griffiths (born 4 January 1992) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder or striker for Long Melford, having previously played for Ipswich Town, Plymouth Argyle, Kettering Town and A.F.C. Sudbury.
Griffiths joined Ipswich Town at the age of eight, having been spotted playing for local Suffolk team Cornard Dynamos. He progressed through the club's youth system and was offered a professional contract by manager Roy Keane in April 2010.
Griffiths made his first team debut in a 3–1 League Cup win against Northampton Town on 26 October 2010, coming on as a substitute for Carlos Edwards.
A double stress fracture in his back kept Griffiths out for a couple of months, but he was offered a six-month contract extension by new manager Paul Jewell. "Obviously I am delighted," he said in the Suffolk Free Press. "It was the best outcome I could have hoped for. It is the worst injury I have had and I am just looking forward to getting fit as soon as possible and pushing on from there.
Griffiths joined Plymouth Argyle on a one-month loan on 31 August 2011, reuniting him with former team-mate Conor Hourihane.
He made his debut on 3 September in a 2–1 defeat to Burton Albion, and the loan was extended for a second month in October. In his final appearance, he received a red card for a dangerous tackle while playing upfront against Cheltenham Town.
Griffiths returned to Ipswich in November, having made nine appearances for Argyle, and was released when his contract expired in December.
