Career

Born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham,[1] Craddock joined the Hartlepool United youth system in 2001. Craddock played at Old Trafford in the FA Youth Cup third-round tie against Manchester United alongside Antony Sweeney and Matty Robson.[2] Man United won 3-2 (AET) and featured future stars such as Darren Fletcher, Phil Bardsley and Kieran Richardson.

Craddock made his first team debut in a 4–0 victory over Whitby Town in the FA Cup first round on 8 November 2003.[3][4] He joined Whitby Town on work experience in January 2004,[5] where he made five appearances.[6] He was handed his first professional contract by Hartlepool in June 2004, which was signed on 6 July.[1][7]

In 2005, Craddock played at the Millennium Stadium in front of 79,000 fans in the 2005 Football League One play-off final for Hartlepool against Sheffield Wednesday.

He signed for York permanently in May 2006, following his release by Hartlepool.[10] He was warned he could face a spell on the sidelines by manager Billy McEwan after receiving a one-match ban after he was booked for fouling Forest Green Rovers striker Allan Russell after losing possession on the halfway line.[11] He missed the rest of the 2006–07 season due to a fractured jaw, which was sustained against Cambridge United.[12] He was offered a new contract by York at the end of the 2006–07 season.[13] He was placed on standby for the England C team in February 2008 but two months later was released by York at the end of the 2007–08 season.[14][15]
