First Team
Welcome, Victor Griffith!
10th January 2025
We are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Victor Griffith until the summer of 2026, subject to a work permit being granted.
The versatile 24-year-old is a Panama international and has most recently been playing his football for Club Deportivo Árabe Unido in his homeland’s top-flight.
Before then, Victor was signed with Portland Timbers and made his first-team debut as a starter in a 2022 US Open Cup match against LAFC and went on to represent them in the MLS.
He captained the Panama squad at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland and has made more than 10 appearances for the senior team.
Victor, comfortable playing defensive midfield or box-to-box, is now excited to get to work under Saints head coach Simo Valakari in the William Hill Premiership.
“I know that Scotland is a very nice country and the league is very competitive,” Victor said. “For me, I am looking forward to that challenge.
“This is a big opportunity for me in my career and is a proud moment both for myself and for my family.
“I have been training and working hard every day on the pitch and in the gym. I am ready for this big moment in my career.”
Victor added: “I am looking forward to meeting all of the fans. Their support is going to be very important for us this season.”
