Although recently retiring as a professional footballer, Craig's broadcasting career has taken off in leaps and bounds, already cementing him as 'one to watch' in Australian soccer and sport broadcasting circles.
Craig started his on-air career with the Seven Network, serving as a soccer analyst and principal commentator on the network's now defunct Pay TV sport channel C7. He was a regular guest on C7's Soccer Central program, as well as a regular panellist on SBS' weekly soccer panel discussion program On The Ball.

As a player, Craig took to the field with the Socceroos for 31 appearances, and even captained Australia's national side on one occasion. He continued his leadership streak as club captain at Crystal Palace FC in the UK and most recently as the skipper of the National Soccer League side Northern Spirit FC.
Craig started his soccer career with NSL clubs Adelaide City and Marconi Fairfield and also briefly played for another English side, Portsmouth, under the guise of former Socceroo coach and now Leeds United manager Terry Venables.
Off the pitch, Craig is an active member of the PFA (Players Association), and is currently serving as an executive board member. He is also currently a director of the PFA's commercial wing the PFAM - PFA Management.
Craig, along with Les and Johnny helped to form the well-known trio at the helm of this year's hugely popular and successful SBS World Cup broadcasts.
