Career[edit]

Starting out at Scottish club Stranraer,[1] McCreadie would move to English Accrington Stanley in 1959.[2]

In 1960 he would move to Luton Town, however he would only make one appearance before moving to Wrexham[2]

He would then move to English non-league club Mossley, where he would score 36 goals in 44 games for the club.[3]

His form at Mossley would earn him a move to Scottish First Division team Hibernian for a fee of £1,000 in 1962.[3] He would only make 9 appearances there however before moving to Altrincham.[2] His time with Altrincham was interrupted by poor behaviour and his contract was cancelled.
