John Crawley (born 5 March 1972 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former football (soccer) player and the goalkeeping coach for A-League club Sydney FC.

Biography

Having played early in his career for Chilean team Colo Colo, he played one season with National Soccer League team Sydney United. Before the A-League began, he played for Blacktown City Demons.

Crawley made 13 appearances for the Mariners in season one of the A-League before he suffered a career ending hip injury. However, Crawley's influence on the Central Coast remained prominent, further developing the careers of Danny Vuković, Mat Ryan and Liam Reddy as the Mariners' goalkeeping coach until his departure from that role in July 2015.[1]

Immediately following his departure from the Mariners, Crawley was appointed as goalkeeping coach for Sydney FC, working with head coach (and former Mariners head coach) Graham Arnold.[2]

He became the first Australian to play in Chile and in South America, before Victor Cristaldo and Richard Porta.
