Craig Edward Disley (born 24 August 1981) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Alfreton Town.
Primarily a box-to-box central midfielder, he began his professional career at Mansfield Town in 1999 where he started as a youngster, and established himself in the "Stags" first team in the 2001–02 season, helping them gain promotion into the Second Division. He then decided to join Bristol Rovers in July 2004, and helped the "Gas" to win promotion out of League Two in the 2007 Football League Two play-off Final. Deemed surplus to requirements, he joined Shrewsbury Town in May 2009, but injury problems through no fault of his own meant he didn't hold a regular place in the team. He joined Grimsby Town in June 2011, and became a linchpin in their midfield over the next 5 years, helping Grimsby to win promotion out of the National League in the 2016 National League play-off Final at Wembley Stadium. Having being released by Grimsby after a successful 6 years with the club, he joined Alfreton Town in the National League North for the next two years.
Born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, Disley came through the youth ranks at Mansfield Town, and was promoted to the club's first team in the summer of 1999 under the management of Bill Dearden. He made his debut on 23 September 1999 in a 4–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town, coming on as a 67th-minute substitute for Michael Sissons, also picking up his 1st yellow card within 3 minutes. He went on to make a further five appearances in his first season at Field Mill.
