James Craigen

Biography

‘Crags’ was initially signed on loan from AFC Fylde in late January 2020, the central midfielder making four appearances before the season was abruptly ended due to the global pandemic. He signed permanently for the club before the commencement of the 2020-21 campaign, and he was a regular in the team either starting or off the bench for the next two years. He made nine appearances at the start of the 2022-23 season, but with the majority coming off the bench, he left in late August 2023 for Edinburgh City in search of more game time.
