The 28-year-old badminton star from Jedburgh has just returned from Shanghai, where he picked up two medals at the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
Craig was selected to join the Great Britain team last year and rocketed to success when he won silver in the mixed doubles and bronze in the men's doubles, making a significant contribution to the team's impressive tally of 224 medals.
The games were staged over 10 days and featured around 7,500 athletes from 160 countries, competing in 25 Olympic and demonstration sports.
It was a massive event, reportedly bigger than any other sporting spectacle this year – including the 2007 Rugby World Cup – and employed 40,000 volunteers and 3,500 event officials, as well as attracting record numbers of spectators.
The badminton contest was decided by a series of round-robin events, where all the players and doubles teams played each other through the week.
Paired with Rachel Thomas from the West Midlands for the mixed doubles, Craig played confidently throughout the tournament to face the Chinese team in a title-deciding final match.
Despite a riveting game, it was the host nation favourites who took the title, leaving Craig and Rachel to claim an impressive silver medal.
In the doubles, the talented Borderer partnered Stephen Davies from Wales to steal bronze and also finished a respectable fifth in the singles event.
Craig began his sporting career as a swimmer, training under Jed Renilson – who heads up SBC's Disability Sports Development Unit – and, in the last few years, has won a string of medals at events across the country, including gold at the Scottish Athletics Championships.
Three years ago, Jed approached the all-round athlete, who had already proved himself both in the pool and on the track, to ask if he'd be interested in joining a new badminton squad as part of the Scottish Borders Special Olympics team and, having agreed, the young Jethart lad found he took to it, well, like a duck to water.
Craig's talent on the court was soon spotted by one of the national team coaches and, last year, he was invited to join the four-strong GB badminton team ahead of the World Summer Games in China.
As well as the demanding playing schedule, the trip to Shanghai also provided an opportunity for the young Borderer to see some of the sights and meet a few of the locals, many of whom were young students who had volunteered to be paired with visiting athletes during their holidays.
It would be unfair to describe Craig as a bit of a ladies' man, but equally, it would be remiss not to mention the fact that the multi-talented athlete picked up quite a fan club, mostly female, during his time in Shanghai, and, in fact, returned home with handfuls of cards from Chinese students who worked as volunteers at the event.
But Craig doesn't like to make much of his new-found popularity in the east and actually seems to have taken the whole experience in his stride.
It's no great surprise Craig has followed a sporting route in life. Mum Yvonne used to teach PE at school and dad John is a proficient squash player.
The proud parents even followed Craig to China in the hope of combining the games with a spot of sightseeing, but plans to take in the sights at Shanghai were as good as shelved when the couple found events at the games far too engrossing to miss.
"The sightseeing went out the window," explained Yvonne. "We just got caught up in the tournament."
"It was an amazing event. The organisation was phenomenal and the opening and closing ceremonies were unbelievable.
"We were very proud and excited to see Craig do so well.
"It was quite emotional, really."
But, after all the excitement, it's back to Jedburgh this week, where, as well as holding down three part-time jobs, Craig also finds the time to train in badminton, swimming and football each week.
By any standards, that's a lot to squeeze into seven days, so it's no surprise that, having just returned from two exhausting weeks in China, and still obviously suffering the effects of jet-lag, all Craig really wants to do is put his feet up at home and take a few moments to enjoy all this much-deserved acclaim.
