Leigh Griffiths targets a new contract at Wolves

Griffiths got his 'second' Wolves career off to a flyer last night when he scored with his first touch within three minutes of coming on at the break.

He also set up the third goal for Tongo Doumbia in the opening 3-2 friendly win at East Fife.

The 22-year-old, who has spent virtually two seasons on loan at Hibernian, is now fully focused on his three-pronged target at Molineux after his first senior goal for the club.

Wolves took up the 12-month option on Griffiths' contract in May and the new Scotland cap already wants to earn another deal.

He said: "The head coach wanted me to come back and said he was going to give me a chance, which is more than other managers have given me.

"I have just got to embrace it and give him food for thought about a new contract. If I'm in the team and scoring goals, then it's up to him and the board to give me a new contract.

"If they don't, I have got to enjoy this last year and help Wolves win the title and we will see where we go from there.

"That won't be my decision. It's up to the manager and the board, but of course I would love to sign.

"Hopefully, I get myself a regular place in the Scotland team and help Wolves to the title."

The pressure will be on Wolves' young squad from the first game of the season, but Griffiths insists the League One title is a realistic aim.

He said: "We are going to be a big fish and the team everyone wants to beat. But the boys have got to handle that and I'm sure the manager can handle it.

"We have got to go and perform week in, week out."

Griffiths faces his former club Livingston in Wolves' second friendly on Saturday and is working on his sharpness after an extended break.

He said: "I haven't had much of a pre-season because I only joined up on Monday, but it was good to get a 45-minute workout under my belt.

"Maybe I should have scored another but I was happy to have got a goal."
