Career

Wilson began his career with hometown club Dunfermline Athletic, making his debut as a seventeen-year-old in April 2004.[1] After playing two dozen first-team games for the Pars, Wilson spent most of the 2006–07 season on loan at Fife rivals Raith Rovers, joining permanently on a two-year deal at the start of the following season.[2] Craig played every minute of every game during the 07/08 season, which was repeated the following season.

Wilson signed for Forfar Athletic in 2011 but left the following summer, after a year out of the game he signed for junior side Ballingry Rovers in June 2013.

Craig, in his early career at Dunfermline was considered a striker, but was signed as a right sided winger for Raith Rovers but quickly adapted to playing as a right-back.

Craig was appointed Club Captain of Ballingry Rovers near the end of the 13/14 season and played several games in centre midfield. Being an unfamiliar position for Craig, he struggled initially, but has now established himself in this the midfield role.
