Career

Creaney began his footballing career at Kilmarnock's Academy, and signed with Ayr United in 2005. However, he only played for the club in Cup matches, and two years later (after a spell with Troon in the Junior divisions), he signed with Stranraer.[1]

After being released by Galway in 2010 summer, Creaney signed with Second Division side Dumbarton.[4] In his first season, he was a part of the side who achieved promotion to the First Division; he made his division debut on 11 August 2012, in a 1–4 away defeat against Airdrieonians.[5]

On 30 July 2013, Creaney signed with Alloa Athletic, in the Scottish Championship.[6] In April 2014, he revealed that he had been playing for over a year with a heart condition.[7]

On 24 July 2014, Creaney signed for Stirling Albion.[8]
