Career
Born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, Craddock played for the Hartlepool United youth system as a trainee and made his first team in a 4–0 victory over Whitby Town in the FA Cup first round on 8 November 2003.[3] He joined Whitby Town on work experience in January 2004,[4] where he made five appearances.[5] He was handed his first professional contract by Hartlepool in June 2004, which was signed on 6 July.[1][6] He was signed by Conference National team York City on a one-month loan in January 2006.[7] He was released by Hartlepool at the end of the 2005–06 season.[8]
He signed for York permanently in May 2006, following his release by Hartlepool.[9] 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.[10] He missed the rest of the 2006–07 season due to a fractured jaw, which was sustained against Cambridge United.[11] He was offered a new contract by York at the end of the 2006–07 season.[12] 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.[13][14]
He joined Newcastle Blue Star of the Northern Premier League Division One North in June 2008.[15] A year later, Craddock signed for Conference North side Blyth Spartans. He re-signed for former club Whitby in July 2010.[16] Craddock signed for newly-promoted Northern League Division One outfit Newton Aycliffe in July 2011,[17] and scored on his debut for the team, a 6–1 victory over Stokesley Sports Club.[18]
