Unable to breakthrough into the first team at Burnley, Craig spent two months on loan at Lincoln City as cover for regular keeper Alan Marriott. Although he featured regularly on the subs' bench for the Imps, he was never called into action and after returning briefly to Turf Moor he joined Halifax Town in February 2001.
He made his Football League debut for the Shaymen at Shrewsbury Town the following month and had a brief run in the team when Lee Butler was out injured.
A promising young goalkeeper, the high point of his time at the Shay came when he saved a penalty in the home game against Barnet to pave the way for a vital 3-0 victory. He was released at the end of the season but later offered a new contract.
Craig joined Oldham Athletic in August 2004 on a monthly basis. He moved on to Hereford United in October 2004 on the same terms.
