Career
Early career
Craigie qualified for the 2011/2012 Main Tour after winning the 2010 IBSF World Under 21 Championships.[4] He defeated his brother Stephen 7–6 in the semi-finals before beating Li Hang 9–8 in the final to secure the title.
2011/2012 season
In his debut season on the snooker tour he was unranked and therefore needed to win four qualifying matches to make the main draws of the ranking events. He won two matches in attempts to reach both the Australian Goldfields Open and German Masters respectively and had his best set of results in qualifying for the China Open, where he beat Adam Wicheard, Liu Song and Gerard Greene, before losing to Ricky Walden 3–5 in the final round.[5] Craigie played in 11 of the 12 minor-ranking Players Tour Championship events throughout the season, with his best finish coming in Event 11 where he was defeated by Walden again, this time in the last 16 by 4 frames to 2.[5] Craigie finished his first season ranked outside of the top 64 who automatically retained their places for the 2012/2013 season and therefore dropped off the main tour.[6]
2016-2017 season
Craigie earned a two-year tour card starting in the 2016/2017 season. Craigie came through qualifying from the EBSA Play-Offs in the 2015/2016 season. Craigie beat Adam Duffy 4-3 in the final round to qualify for his two-year card.
Personal life
Craigie's elder brother Stephen was also a professional snooker player.
