He lifted the trophy alongside fellow co-captain Gethin Jones following a man of the match performance in the final against Manchester City.
In December 2014, the youngster was named on the bench for Everton's first-team game against FC Krasnodar and found himself again on the substitutes bench later that season while Tim Howard was sidelined with a calf injury.
After taking part in pre-season with Northwich Victoria, Griffiths joined the Northern Premier League side on a one-month loan deal in August 2015.
Russell then joined Halifax Town on a month loan in November 2015.
On July 20th 2016, Russel signed a 1 year contract extension keeping him at the club until June 2017.
On 5th August 2016, Russell then joined Cheltenham Town on loan to 2nd January 2017.
