Craig Fagan Biography

Craig Fagan is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on December 11, 1982 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. Craig Anthony Fagan (born 11 December 1982) is an English former professional footballer who was an forward or winger. He was a player for the Premier League for Birmingham City, Derby County and Hull City.

When he joined Derby, Fagan quickly worked to get into the team’s first team. He was first introduced in the 1-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday on 13 January 2007. He had also played his last game with Hull in the match against Hull’s team twelve days prior and in that game, Fagan was part of the winning team. Fagan was mostly used as a wide player during his time at Derby instead of his usual role of striker, with manager Billy Davies preferring to employ Steve Howard in the lone striker position. Fagan made 17 games in the league and one cup and scored just once at the time of the draw against Leicester City, as Derby’s performances deteriorated and they fell into the playoffs and finished third place. Fagan was able to take part in all three matches of Derby’s winning playoff campaign which included the 1-0 win against West Bromwich Albion in the 2007 Championship play-off Final.

On Saturday 13 September 2008, Fagan suffered a broken tibia after being on the end of an “horrific tackle” by Newcastle United midfielder Danny Guthrie. Guthrie was sent off in the incident, which occurred in the closing stages of Hull’s victory at St James’ Park. He returned to action on 26 December 2008 and scored Hull’s only goal in a heavy defeat to Manchester City.

Fagan made his second debut for Hull in a 2–0 win over Scunthorpe United on 8 March 2008 and was part of the side which eventually secured the club’s first ever season in the top flight of English football, following a 1–0 win over Bristol City at Wembley in the 2008 Championship play-off Final, in which Fagan appeared as a 67th-minute substitute. It was Fagan’s second consecutive appearance in the Championship Playoff final following playing for Derby there the previous year. Derby manager Paul Jewell announced on 17 June 2008 that the deal to take Fagan back to Hull on a permanent transfer had been agreed, with the fee believed to be £750,000. This was completed on 2 July.

Even though he left at the halfway point of the season Fagan had the highest assists total in Hull between 2006-2007, the same way previously in the previous season.

Fagan began his career in football as an under-nine at Birmingham City. After the club eliminated its youth program, he played some time with West Bromwich Albion, but returned to Birmingham City when they opened their academy in part because it was closer than his hometown located in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, where he was educated at Catshill Middle School and South Bromsgrove High School. Fagan began the Birmingham debut as an unofficial substitute in the League Cup tie against Leyton Orient on October 2nd, 2002. Fagan’s Premier League debut followed two months later, also as a substitute, this time against Southampton. He scored his debut goal during his loan spell with Bristol City in a 2-1 loss against Colchester United, his future club. He was not able to get into Birmingham’s first squad, and became a member of Colchester United on a free transfer in March 2004 following an impressive loan period for the side.

Fagan was signed by Hull City on 28 February 2005, for an unspecified six- figure payment for his transfer (believed to be between PS125,000 and PS130,000). The next day, Fagan scored his first goal in a 3-1 win over Tranmere Rovers. He was brought back together by his old Colchester manager, Phil Parkinson, when Parkinson was appointed Hull City manager in the summer of 2006. The tenure of Parkinson however was not for long. under Parkinson, Fagan was played as a right wing player and under Peter Taylor he had played as striker. After Parkinson’s departure Hull changed from a 4-2-4 formation to a 4-3-3 one and Fagan thrived in his role in the right-hand part of Hull’s front trio.

His good form led to interest from other clubs and speculation around his future arose when he was left out of the squad for the FA Cup Third Round tie against Middlesbrough on 6 January 2007. Finally, on 9 January, top of the table Derby County confirmed the signing of Fagan for a fee of £750,000, rising to £1,000,000 dependent on their promotion to the Premiership.
