Club career

James Craigen played for the Edinburgh University football side, while concentrating on his academic studies. He also turned out for the Scottish University side when they won the BUCS Home Nations Tournament. Craigen was selected for the Great Britain University side at the 2011 Student Games in Japan, where the team finished runners-up.^[2]

Craigen signed for Partick Thistle at the start of the 2012-13 Season, whilst also completing his final year at university.^[3] He joined Forfar Athletic on loan in October 2012, and returned to Thistle in early 2013. He found the net twice during his loan period.^[4]

On his return to Partick Thistle, Craigen established himself in the starting eleven during the title run-in. He famously scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory at home to Morton in April 2013, a victory that essentially secured the league title for Partick Thistle.^[5]
