DAVID MARTINDALE has revealed that Leigh Griffiths is in discussion with a club about a potential contract.

The former Celtic striker was training with Livingston to increase his match sharpness with the new season fast approaching.

And Martindale has now explained how Griffiths is in talks with a club regarding a move.

He explained: "Leigh has not been in (this week), I think he is talking to a club, I don’t know where but it’s not my place to say anyway.

"I had him in last week, he was in doing extra shifts, me, him and Brucey (Anderson).

"I know this about Leigh Griffiths, he is a fantastic boy in and around the club. I can’t comment on Leigh’s history, I can just comment on when he was here.

"He looked in good shape, had lost a lot of weight from the time I saw him in the Dundee game. His body fats were really low in comparison to that.

"And even that wee hour we spent together, Brucey was able to pick up on a few points.

"As much as we gave Leigh somewhere to come and keep fit, I need to thank Leigh as well because he was genuinely very positive around the place and he was a pleasure to coach."
