John began his playing career at Pontypridd and went on to represent Wales across all junior levels.

In May 2017, Premiership side Sale Sharks signed prop WillGriff John from Championship club Doncaster Knights. In March 2018, Sale Sharks extended his contract by a further three years after he established himself as one of the Premiership's brightest emerging front-row talents.
