'Craines' arrived at the club in July 07 on a free transfer from Leeds United and has already become a consistent performer for the Seasiders at left-back. He started his career coming through the ranks at Celtic before moving to England to join Southampton before agreeing to join Leeds United. Crainey grabbed his first goal for the club in the 2-2 draw with Sheffield United at Bloomfield Road when he scored a great free-kick to level the game at 1-1. His season ended following a knee operation but his performances in previous months were still enough to see him crowned Player of the Year at the end of season awards dinner.
The left-back made his comeback from injury against Birmingham in January and regained his place in the side for the second-half of the season.
