-1. Adam Griffiths
Since returning to Australian soil in 2007, Adam has been one of the stand-out players in the Hyundai A-League. A Qantas Socceroo and Championship winner with the Newcastle Jets, he has the winning mentality demanded by Gold Coast United Chairman Clive Palmer and Head Coach Miron Bleiberg.
Comfortable in several positions, Adam’s leadership qualities and physical presence will be vital to United as will his considerable playing talents. Experience in both the English and Belgian leagues honed his skills even further and with more Qantas Socceroo appearances in the offing, Adam will be a key player for the Gold Coast.
