Career

Yeovil Town

At the start of the 2005–2006 season Craig was awarded a first team contract at Yeovil Town along with fellow youth teammates Tom Clarke and Jake Smeeton.[1] Due to being over-age for playing in the youth side for Yeovil Town, he had three short-term loan spells in the 2006-07 season with Conference South side Weston-super-mare, Southern League sides Taunton Town and Tiverton Town.[2] He made his first team debut as a substitute away at Gillingham in the final league match of the 2006–07 season.[3]

Alcock can play anywhere in defence, but is happiest as a right back.[4] After making a breakthrough and challenging for the number one right back slot in the 2007–08 season, he became a regular starter in the 2008–09 season due to injuries and suspensions concerning Lee Peltier.

On the 7th May 2009 Craig signed a new 2 year contract with Yeovil Town.[5] After new captain Stefan Stam was dropped due to injury and poor-form he was made captain and has blossomed with the extra responsibility.[6]

In early summer 2010, Alcock was linked with a move to championship side Norwich City. He was informed by the club at the end of the 2010/11 season that he was one of seven Yeovil players who would be awarded new contracts.[7] In July 2011 he signed for Peterborough United on a three year deal with Yeovil receiving an undisclosed fee in compensation due to Alcock's age.[8]
