Craig Michael O'Reilly (born 20 September 1987) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Kelty Hearts in the Scottish Junior Football Association, East Region. He has previously played in the Scottish Football League First Division for Raith Rovers, Dundee and Clyde.

Career

O'Reilly began his career with Raith Rovers. He made his senior debut aged 16, scoring a goal in a 1–1 draw with Brechin City in May 2004, securing Raith's First Division future in the process.[1] In August 2004, he joined Montrose on a loan deal until the end of the year.[2]

O'Reilly signed for Dundee in July 2005, and was named Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month for December 2005, after scoring 3 goals in 3 games.[3] He was also called up to the Scotland under-19 squad at this time.[4] He spent the whole of the 2006–07 season on loan at East Fife, and the move was made permanent in May 2007.[5] In a Scottish League Cup tie in August 2007, O'Reilly's wonder goal saw Third Division East Fife defeat Premier League St Mirren 1–0 away from home, in a cup giant killing.[6] O'Reilly left East Fife in December 2008, after finding first team chances limited.[7]

He made the step up to the Scottish First Division in January 2009, signing a six-month contract with Clyde.[8] He made his debut in a 4–2 defeat against Partick Thistle on 3 January.[9] He joined Montrose on loan for the second time in his career, in March 2009, until the end of the season.[10] O'Reilly was released by Clyde in June 2009 along with the rest of the out of contract players, due to the club's financial position.[11] O'Reilly moved on to Stenhousemuir but failed to hold down a starting place. He joined his hometown club Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in January 2010 while considering a move to America, but returned to the SFL with Berwick Rangers the following summer.[12][13]

A cruciate ligament injury picked up whilst jogging in March 2011 ended O'Reilly's career at Berwick but he returned to the Junior game with Penicuik Athletic in January 2012.[14][15] He then had a short spell at Ballingry Rovers before signing for Newtongrange Star in October 2012.[16][17]

O'Reilly joined Kelty Hearts in June 2014.[18]
