Craig Murray West (born 18 April 1980) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.

Rugby career

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. 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. He toured England with NZ Māori in 2007.

Business

West ended his rugby career in 2009 due to injury and has since held several management roles at integrated services company Downer NZ. He was named Deloitte Top 200: Young Executive of the Year in 2015.
