Griffiths, a standout performer for Glory through the highs and lows of last season, sought a release from the club in search of an overseas opportunity and was expected to return to Asia where he spent two seasons with Guangzhou R&F.

But Roda, once home to Graham Arnold, Zeljko Kalac and Gary van Egmond, made an approach late last week and the formalities were concluded on Saturday night.

Roda is back in the Eredivisie after being relegated two years ago and is looking to cement its place in the top division under coach Darije Kalezic.

Australian agent Dragan Jevtic, who brokered the deal, said: "This is a chance for Rostyn to compete at a great level for a club which is on the up and back where it belongs this season.

"They were keen to get him on board and now he has the opportunity to excel in one of Europe's best leagues.

"Rostyn wants to test himself at the highest level possible and can't wait to get started now."
