Craig Wilson (born 28 May 1986 in Dunfermline) is a Scottish footballer who is currently playing for Ballingry Rovers
Career
Wilson began his career with hometown club Dunfermline Athletic, making his debut as a seventeen-year-old in April 2004.[1] After playing two dozen first-team games for the Pars, Wilson spent most of the 2006–07 season on loan at Fife rivals Raith Rovers, joining permanently on a two-year deal at the start of the following season.[2] Craig played every minute of every game during the 07/08 season, which was repeated the following season.
Wilson signed for Forfar Athletic in 2011 but left the following summer, after a year out of the game he signed for junior side Ballingry Rovers in June 2013.
Craig, in his early career at Dunfermline was considered a striker, but was signed as a right sided winger for Raith Rovers but quickly adapted to playing as a right-back.
Craig was appointed Club Captain of Ballingry Rovers near the end of the 13/14 season and played several games in centre midfield. Being an unfamiliar position for Craig, he struggled initially, but has now established himself in this the midfield role.
Craig states personally how studying footage of the Scottish-Italian midfielder Paolo Montignani has vastly improved his overall game.
He has been quoted as saying, "watching Monty is like poetry in motion".
