Playing career
Sheffield United
McAughtrie began his professional career as a trainee with Sheffield United, he joined the club on August 1, 1997, but failed to force his way into the first team.
Craig spent three seasons on the books at Sheffield United, but left at the end of the 1999/00 season, without making a single league appearance.
Carlisle United
On August 5, 2000, McAughtrie joined Carlisle United.
Craig wasn't a regular with Carlisle United, but during a two-year stint he made 10 appearances and scored once.
His only goal for Carlisle United was quite a memorable one, as he scored a 90th minute winner in a 3-2 home win against Macclesfield Town on April 1, 2002 in a League Two match.
McAughtrie was released by Carlisle United at the end of the 2001/02 season.
Stafford Rangers
In the summer of 2002, Craig made a move to Stafford Rangers of the Conference North.
Craig made his debut on August 17, 2002 and during the seasons formed a great partnership at the heart of the Stafford Rangers defence with captain Wayne Daniel.
McAughtrie marked his 200th appearance for the club on March 24, 2007 with a goal against Grays Athletic in a 4-2 home win.
Since the arrival of former Northampton Town defender Fred Murray on August 28, 2007, Craig has found first team chances hard to come by.
Tamworth
On September 13, 2007, Craig McAughtrie was confirmed as a Tamworth player, after signing for an undisclosed fee. On the same day Craig was joined at Tamworth by Chris Nurse, who joined from Hinckley United.[1]
On May 18, 2009, Tamworth confirmed that McAughtrie along with team mates Dean Lea and Callum Burgess would be released.
McAughtrie is a policeman, and it was suggested that he would struggle with the extra commitments and travelling following the clubs promotion to the Conference National.[2]
After leaving Tamworth, McAughtrie had a spell at King's Lynn and Eastwood Town before returning to Stafford Rangers in 2010.
Hinckley United
After Stafford were relegated, McAughtrie signed for Hinckley United in June 2011.[3]
