Jim Crawford (born May 1 1973 in Chicago, U.S.) is an Irish footballer currently playing for Eircom League of Ireland First Division club Sporting Fingal. Crawford is an experienced central midfielder.

Career

Crawford began his career at Bohemians making his debut against Bray Wanderers in November 1991. He soon became a big favourite at Dalymount Park and won the PFAI Young Player of the Year for the 1993/94 season.

This form attracted Newcastle United and he moved to Tyneside in 1995. He also spent a short period of time playing for both Rotherham United and Dundee Utd before signing up for Reading in March 1998, with Tommy Burns at the helm. Tommy Burns was sacked and he failed to prove himself under the new managership.

Crawford's next destination was Shelbourne back in Ireland whom he helped to four League of Ireland championships. He signed a new one year contract on February 25 2007 with Shels as they got their preparations in place for the new First Division season following the FAI's decision to demote the reigning champions [ [http://www.shelbournefc.com/news.php?id=578 Crawford re-signs for Shels] → www.shelbournefc.com] . He was swiftly appointed captain by new manager, Dermot Keely [ [http://www.shelbournefc.com/news.php?id=585 Keely completes backroom team] → www.shelbournefc.com] . Crawford's last seasons at Shelbourne were hampered by numerous injuries which limited his appearances. After eight immensely successful seasons at Shelbourne, Crawford departed the club in December 2007 [ [http://www.shelbournefc.com/news.php?id=792 Player Update] → www.shelbournefc.com] .
