Who is Andy Craig?

Andrew "Andy" Craig is an English born Scottish rugby union footballer who plays at outside centre. He played for Glasgow, Leeds Tykes and Scotland.

Craig previously represented Scotland at rugby league, playing for Wigan, Halifax, Widnes and Swinton. He switched to rugby union joining Orrell in 2000, before moving to Glasgow in the summer of 2004. He then moved to Leeds Tykes for the 2005/2006 season.

Craig earned his first cap for Scotland on Saturday, 15 June 2002 against Canada in Vancouver. His debut was for a lost cause. The Scots lost 26-23.

Craig was an important member of the Scotland team for the 2003 Six Nations Championship. He played only a handful of games in the 2004 season. His luck changed again in 2005, when under the reign of the Matt Williams he was the starting outside centre. Although it was a disappointing season for Scotland, Craig scored two tries. One against Wales due to an overlap and one against England after some fine work from Chris Paterson.

Craig suffered a setback after picking up an injury during the 2005/6 season for Glasgow. He returned to action for a few games after his injury and subsequently scored a try in one of his games.
