Ian Thomas William Craney (born 21 July 1982 in Liverpool) is an English professional footballer who plays as a Midfielder.
He has most notably had five spells with Accrington Stanley during his career, the latest ending at the end of the 2011-12 season. He has also played in the Football League with Swansea City, Huddersfield Town, Morecambe and Rochdale, as well as spells in Non-league with Altrincham and Fleetwood Town.
After starting his career as a junior at Everton, he got his first break in senior football at Conference National side Altrincham, before moving to Accrington Stanley in 2004. He then signed a permanent deal at Swansea City on 9 January 2007 for £150,000 from Accrington Stanley having been on loan since 23 November 2006. He returned to Accrington in early 2008, after an initial loan spell.
Fellow League Two side Morecambe saw two bids rejected for the midfielder in July 2008. But just two games into the 2008-09 season, Accrington accepted an undisclosed fee from League 1 side Huddersfield Town for the midfielder. He took up the vacant number 5 shirt following the sale of David Mirfin to Scunthorpe United. He made his Town debut in their 3-1 defeat by Milton Keynes Dons at the Galpharm Stadium on 23 August 2008. His first goal for the Terriers was the winning goal in their 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road on 6 September 2008.
