Craig Anthony Fagan (born December 11, 1982) is a professional footballer currently playing for Derby County in England's Premier League. His preferred position is striker, but he can also play on the right wing. Fagan's career began at his hometown club, Birmingham City, from whom he moved to Colchester United on a free transfer in 2004, after a successful loan spell. Fagan joined Hull City on February 28, 2005 for an undisclosed six-figure transfer fee (believed to be around £125,000). Five days later he scored on his debut in a 3-1 victory over Tranmere Rovers. He was reunited with his former Colchester boss, Phil Parkinson, when Parkinson was appointed Hull City manager in the summer of 2006 - Parkinson's tenure however did not last long. Under Parkinson Fagan was played on the right wing, whereas previously he had played as a striker. Following Parkinson's departure, Hull changed from a 4-4-2 formation to 4-3-3, and Fagan flourished in his role on the right hand side of the front three. His good form led to interest from promotion-chasing Derby County. Speculation arose regarding Fagan's future when he was dropped from the squad for the FA Cup Third Round tie against Middlesbrough on January 6th 2007. On January 9th, Derby boss Billy Davies confirmed the signing of Fagan for a fee of £750,000, rising to £1,000,000 dependent on Derby's promotion to the Premiership, which they went on to achieve via the play-offs. Fagan led Hull City in assists despite leaving halfway through the season. [1] He had also led the assists chart the previous season. [2]
