Craig returned to North Lodge in the summer of 2015 having gained a Highland League Championship medal with Brora Rangers during the second half of 2015-16 season. The Former club Captain has returned to the heart of the North lodge defence and will once again be a major influence within the Formartine team. In his previous three year spell Craig made 101 appearances and bagging 18 goals from set pieces utilising the skills he gained as a professional with Dundee, Dunfermline Athletic and Clyde. Having played junior football for Formartine, the Tarves lad came through the youth system at Dunfermline. He spent time on loan at Berwick Rangers and when he left the club he joined Clyde. He scored his first Clyde goal with the last kick of the season and was part of the best defence in the league the following year. With him at the heart of the defence Clyde only concededing 35 league goals.

During his final season with Clyde although he missed a lot of the season through injuries he still managed to make 18 appearances and score 3 goals. He signed a pre contract agreement with Dundee half way through the season and joined up with the club in the summer of 2008.

Further injury problems kept him out for a spell in his first year at Dens but after a short loan spell at Stirling Albion he has been a regular in the Dundee side where he formed a solid central defensive pairing with Rhys Weston which helped Dundee retain their 1st division status despite a 25 point deduction. Craig made 69 appearances for Dundee before leaving the club to join Formartine in 2012.
