Craig Ellis (born 4 June 1975 in Stawell, Victoria) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Football career
He was drafted by North Melbourne as a 15 year old in the 1990 AFL Draft, but only played for their Under-19 team. He was drafted again in the 1993 Pre-season Draft by Footscray from the Western Jets[1] and debuted for them in 1994. Early injuries hampered his career but he drastically improved during the 1997 season where he took many saving marks at centre half-back.
In 2002, Ellis moved for one season to the Melbourne Football Club, in which he had a solid year, playing 14 consecutive games, but decided to retire at the end of the season.
Post-football career
Today, Ellis is the owner/designer of clothing label St Lenny, located in Prahran Victoria.[2]
