Craig Wight (born 24 July 1978) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[1]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Wight started his career with Arbroath in 1997, before leaving in 2002.[2] He spent time at the Kentucky-based Lindsey Wilson College[3] and Tennessee-based Cumberland University in America,[4] before returning to Scotland to play for Livingston. He then returned to Arbroath in 2007,[5] before joining East Fife in the January 2008 transfer market.[6]

After a short career break, in which he returned to the Lindsey Wilson College to assume the position of assistant manager,[7] Wight returned with First Division side Raith Rovers, but failed to make an appearance before joining fellow First Division side Cowdenbeath, initially as a goalkeeping coach.[8] Wight made two appearances during his time with the Cowdenbeath-based side.

After a short spell with lower division side Berwick Rangers as a player-goalkeeping coach,[9] Wight moved to Finland to join Veikkausliiga side IFK Mariehamn in 2016, while also working as a goalkeeping coach and assistant manager for Kakkonen side FC Åland.[10] He was named interim manager for the end of the 2016 season.[11]
