Craig William Rosslee (born January 1, 1970 in Cape Town, Western Cape) is a former South African football (soccer) player[1] who is currently an assistant coach for Orlando Pirates.
Rosslee enjoyed success as a player with Cape Town Spurs, Hellenic and Santos. He made his league debut for Cape Town Spurs in 1990 and retired in 2004 due to several shoulder injuries. Rosslee was ranked among the better defenders of his time in South Africa but was not capped at international level for South Africa.
He linked up with Ajax CT as a junior coach, eventually becoming the head of the club's youth development programme and had short uneventful stints in lower divisions but can claim fame in the hot seat for his excellent run to the last eight of the prestigious ABSA Cup with the youthful Ajax reserve team before they narrowly lost to Silver Stars.
In 2007 he was appointed coach of Ajax CT.
In 2009, Rosslee left Ajax,[2] and later that year joined the Orlando Pirates as an assistant coach.[3]
