Craig Gillies (born 6 May 1976) is an english rugby union player. He currently plays for Worcester Warriors in the Guinness Premiership. He plays as a lock.
Craig Gillies was born in Paisley and grew up in Tiverton, Devon. He joined Warriors in the summer of 2003 and his former clubs include Richmond and Llanelli. Gillies lost all his body hair to alopecia in 2002. Craig was a key part of the unbeaten National Division One promotion winning team of 2003/04 and has helped establish the club in the Guinness Premiership.
Gillies, who played for England A in 2000, has experienced both in National Division One and the Premiership with Warriors and signed a new three year contract with the club during 2006.
One of the best line-out takers in the top-flight, Gillies has been one of Worcester’s most consistent players since arriving at the club.
He was famously knocked out by Arwel Thomas during a match against Swansea in December 2000, suffering a broken nose and a cut that required 10 stitches.[1]
