[edit] Career

Craig Bryson signed a professional contract with Clyde at the beginning of season 2003/04, though he had to wait till the following season to make his début. He was loaned out to junior outfit East Kilbride Thistle for the latter part of the season.

Bryson made a great start to his senior career, scoring 4 minutes into his debut against Raith Rovers in August 2004. Bryson continued his good form over the season, winning him Clyde's Young Player of the Year Award for Season 2004-05.

Bryson had a season to remember in 2005/06, scoring against both half's of the Old Firm. He scored Clyde's equalizing goal in a 5-2 extra time defeat against Rangers, and scored the opener in the famous 2-1 win over Celtic.

Bryson has been capped by Scotland at U19 & U21 level.

Bryson recently undertook a trial at Derby County; however he was not offered a contract due to the lack of a reserve team, which would have given him valuable playing time whilst at the club.

Bryson was selected in the SPFA First Division Team of 2006-07. Bryson will leave Clyde at the end of the 2006-07 season, having made 111 overall appearances, scoring 12 goals. He is widely considered Clyde's best youth product since moving to Broadwood Stadium.

Bryson signed for Kilmarnock in July 2007. He scored his first goals for the club in a 3-1 victory against Aberdeen.[1] Since the start of 2008 he has established himself as an important first team player due to his fantastic work rate and ability.
