Craig MacGillivray (born 12 January 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League One side Walsall.

Playing career

MacGillivray began his career as a reserve team goalkeeper for Harrogate Railway Athletic,[3] eventually earning a move to Stalybridge Celtic in 2011.[4] After making four appearances for Stalybridge in an injury–hit season,[5] MacGillivray joined Harrogate Town in August 2012.[4] He rejoined Harrogate Railway Athletic on loan for a brief spell in 2012. Following his return from loan, MacGillivray emerged as Harrogate's first–choice goalkeeper and made seventy appearances for the club over two seasons in the Conference North.[5] He was linked with moves to a number of Football League clubs during this time.[6]

Walsall

Despite agreeing a two–year deal with Harrogate in November 2012,[6] MacGillivray joined League One side Walsall on 13 June 2014 after the two clubs agreed a compensation package.[7] He acted as a deputy to Richard O'Donnell for much of the 2014–15 season but MacGillivray eventually made his debut for the Saddlers on 25 April 2015, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory over Oldham Athletic.[8]
