Matthew Craig Â
Matthew Craig was handed his Premier League debut by Ryan Mason in Tottenham?s 4-1 thumping of Leeds at Elland Road last May. The Scotsman spent the first half of this season with the U21s before he earned a loan to League 2 side Doncaster Rovers in January. Â
Since his move, Craig has enjoyed 16 appearances for the South Yorkshire outfit, most recently being subbed off in Doncaster?s comeback win against Barrow (transfermarkt). Just a few weeks ago, the 21-year-old hinted at the possibility of extending his stay at Doncaster past his loan expiry (The Yorkshire Post).Â
While there?s no denying Matthew Craig?s potential to become a brilliant football player, it is hard to see space for him in Postecoglou?s midfield. If not for anything but the sheer number of quality players in that area of the pitch. Another move away from the club is probably the most likely outcome for Craig, whether that be as a loan or permanent remains to be seen.
