Craig Murray West (born 18 April 1980) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.[1]
Raised in Taumarunui, West was a NZ Colts representative and played as a loosehead prop in the Waikato side that won the 2006 Air New Zealand Cup.[2] His Waikato performances earned him a Chiefs call up during the 2007 Super 14 season and he made three appearances, two in the starting XV.[3] He toured England with NZ Māori in 2007.[4]
West ended his rugby career in 2009 due to injury and has since held several management roles at integrated services company Downer NZ.[5] He was named Deloitte Top 200: Young Executive of the Year in 2015.[6]
