Paul Crarey (born 4 January 1966) also known by the nickname of "Cresta", is a former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s, and coached in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. He played at club level for Dalton ARLFC [1], Barrow (1987-1995, 172 appearances, 20+ tries), and Carlisle, as a hooker and coached at representative level for Cumbria and British Amateur Rugby League Association (BARLA) Great Britain Lions, and at club level for Barrow (2005–07, 2014–present), and Whitehaven (?-2008).

Coaching career

[edit]

After retiring as a player, Crarey moved into coaching. He had coaching spells at amateur clubs Dalton and Walney Central before being appointed as head coach at Barrow Raiders in October 2005.[6]

Crarey departed Barrow at the end of the 2007 season and became head coach at Whitehaven, but was forced to step down in March 2008 for health reasons.[7]

He subsequently returned to coaching at amateur level for a few years before re-joining Barrow for a second spell in 2014.[8][9]
