Career

Craig began his career at Ipswich Town F.C. and skippered the youth side to victory in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final. However, after finding it difficult to break into the first team he joined Falkirk in January 2006.

Craig moved to St. Johnstone F.C. on a month's loan in December 2007 and scored on his home debut against Livingston F.C.. He then signed on loan until the end of the season with the Saints and impressed manager Derek McInnes so much that he was signed from Falkirk in July 2008.

Because of Craig's age, Saints were due Falkirk compensation and on 23 October 2008 a transfer tribunal ruled that Saints would pay Falkirk £25,000 for his services, with a further £12,000 if the club is promoted to the SPL during is time at McDiarmid Park and also 25% of any future transfer received by Saints from another club.
