Timeline

1968

Craig Jonathan Short (born 25 June 1968) is a former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

He was most recently caretaker manager of Oxford United.

1986

Short was born in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England and after attending Amotherby primary school and Lady Lumley's School (Pickering) along with his brother Chris, he started his professional career at Pickering Town in the 1986–87 season.

1989

In October the following year they moved to Scarborough together, and in June 1989, Notts County together.

However, while his brother was dogged by injury, Craig managed to ascend to greater things.

1992

After four seasons for Notts County he moved to Derby County at the beginning of the 1992–93 season.

He signed for £2.5million – a record for a club outside the top flight, and the highest fee for a defender at the time.

He had been subject of a similarly high bid for ambitious Premier League side Blackburn Rovers, but opted to join Derby instead.

He completed more than 100 competitive games for both Derby and his next club, Everton who he joined three seasons later.

1999

He left the Merseyside club in 1999, joining Blackburn Rovers for £1.7 million – seven years after they had first tried to buy him.

2000

Short endeared himself to fans as a mainstay in the 2000–01 team which won promotion and established itself back in the top flight.

2002

However, he missed the 2002 League Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur through suspension, a match which Blackburn won 2–1.

He did gain European experience in the following season, playing two games in the UEFA Cup.

2003

After a 4–0 victory away to Birmingham City on 6 December 2003, manager Graeme Souness labelled Short the "perfect professional" after outplaying City striker Christophe Dugarry, who was sent off for elbowing Short.

2005

In his final league game for Rovers on 7 May 2005 against Fulham, Short was handed the captain's armband by then manager Mark Hughes.

However, in an out of character incident, he was sent off for violent conduct against Fulham's Luis Boa Morte after the Portuguese striker dangerously fouled Lucas Neill and Short pushed Boa Morte in the chest.

He did however lead the team out for one final time a few weeks later in Tony Parkes' testimonial match, who was also leaving the club.

In the summer of 2005 he was allowed to move on to Sheffield United and was an important member of United's successful promotion campaign.

He signed a one-year contract but only made two League Cup appearances that season.

2006

He was released at the end of the 2006–07 season and retired from football.

2008

In September 2008, it was announced that Short had joined Sheffield United's sister club, Ferencvaros, as a player-coach to Bobby Davison.

He played two games for the club, both in the Hungarian League Cup.

2009

On 30 November 2009, Ferencvaros officially appointed Short as their new manager.

However, he left the club at the end of the 2009–10 season because he did not possess the UEFA Pro Licence required in the Hungarian top division.

2010

On 4 June 2010, he was appointed as the new manager of Notts County.

He was sacked on 24 October 2010.

After a break from football, Short returned as Head of Recruitment for Derby County's academy.

2013

In 2013 Short was appointed first team coach at Blackburn Rovers where he had enjoyed a six-year spell as a player.

2015

Short was appointed to Darren Wassalls coaching staff at Derby County for the closing stages of the 2015–16 campaign.

2020

In August 2020, he was appointed as a coach at Oxford United.

Following the departure of Karl Robinson in February 2023, he was appointed caretaker manager.

Having overseen two matches in charge, he returned to the coaching staff following the managerial appointment of Liam Manning.

He was once again appointed caretaker manager following the departure of Manning to Bristol City in November 2023.

The U's won 5–0 against Chelsea U21s in the EFL Trophy in the first game of his second spell, with Short giving a debut to 15 year-old Leo Snowden, who became Oxford's youngest ever player.

After retiring as a player, Short began a sailing business on Windermere, teaching sailing to the public and corporate teams, and delivering boats to their owners.
