Griffiths said: “It feels great to be here. I’m happy the club has given me an opportunity to get going, play some football and hopefully score some goals.

“I just want to be happy, playing football at a club that wants to see me do well.”

Yeovil are nineteenth in the National League, two points above the relegation zone.

Griffiths could make his debut against Eastleigh on Tuesday as the Glovers look to end a seven-game winless run.

The former England youth international joined Doncaster from French top flight side Lyon on a two-and-a-half year deal in January 2021.

Griffiths found the back of the net twice in his first season in South Yorkshire.

His 22/23 campaign has been hampered by fitness issues and he has failed to score in any of his five appearances.

Griffiths has played just 17 minutes of football since Schofield took charge in October.

Speaking last month, the Doncaster boss said: "Reo’s not been in my mind because I feel the other players are doing a bit more in training and impressing me a little bit more to get into the squad.”
