Craig Mawson (born 16 May 1979 in Keighley, West Yorkshire) is an English former professional footballer who works as a goalkeeping coach for Manchester United.[1]
Career[edit]
Burnley[edit]
Mawson started his career at Burnley in a full-time position. In December 2015, he was awarded the FA Goalkeeping Coach of the Year 2015 award.
Lincoln City[edit]
In September 2000, Lincoln City's manager Phil Stant signed Mawson on-loan as cover for his first-choice keeper Alan Marriott.[2] Whilst the loan was extended to a second month,[3] Mawson would remain an unused substitute in each of Lincoln's nine league games during this period before returning to Burnley.
Other clubs[edit]
Mawson has also played for Morecambe and Oldham Athletic. Whilst at Christie Park he was voted Player of the Year by the supporters for the 2002-03 season, when he notably saved two penalties in the semi-final of the Conference playoffs. However the team failed to progress to the final.
Following the liquidation of Halifax Town, Mawson signed a deal with Conference North team Droylsden.
Hyde[edit]
On 2 July 2010, he signed for Droylsden's rivals Hyde.[4] He was due to make his Hyde debut on 17 July 2010 against Manchester City Reserves, but unexpectedly flew out to Singapore and had to be replaced by Brynn Hindley.[5]
Return to Burnley[edit]
On 1 September 2010 Mawson signed for Burnley as a coach for the youth team.[6]
Mawson was included in the reserve team on 27 October 2010 against Macclesfield and was a regular starter for the reserve team.
