Craig was born in South Shields on the 4th of February 1974. After a traineeship at Sunderland he signed for Manchester City for a £100,000 on the 14th of November 1997. Loan spells at Tranmere, Port Vale, Darlington and Oxford followed. On the 13th of March 2000 a loan spell at St Johnstone led to a permanent contract, staying with the Saints until January 2003.
Craig signed for Carlisle on the the 17th of
January and has proved to be a reliable and versatile link man, playing on the
wing, in central midfield or in attack. His only goal of the campaign came away
at Torquay on the 26th of April, in the 3-2 win.
With the score at 0-0 and
United desperately needing points, it was Craig that started the move, giving
Richie Foran the ball on the right. Richie showed strength and
determination to get the ball forward down the line and lay the ball across goal
to where Craig was waiting. He sent the ball low, past the keeper to put United
ahead.
