Danny Griffin is the only player who has appeared and started in every Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC match this season.

That’s right, Griffin’s started 28 of the Riverhounds 28 league matches, playing 2,514 total minutes.

In his third year with the club, the former Providence Friars standout has become more than a fixture for the Hounds, he’s become one of the team’s leaders and a part of one of the best midfields in the league.

Head Coach Bob Lilley decided that Thursday would only be an option workout day for his players, ahead of the Hounds’ big match vs Louisville City FC on Saturday (7 p.m. – Highmark Stadium).  And, it was no surprise that Griffin was the last one of the field putting in the extra work on an optional workout day.

Here’s my interview with Griffin after Thursday’s training session, for Pittsburgh Sports Live.
