Craig Ross Wighton (born 27 July 1997) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Scottish League One side Dunfermline Athletic. He has previously played for Dundee, Brechin City, Raith Rovers, Arbroath and Heart of Midlothian. Club career Dundee Youth While attending Harris Academy, Wighton was snapped by Dundee under the management of Barry Smith, the team he supported as a boy. He came through the same training clinic, run by Ian Cathro, as fellow Scottish prospects Ryan Gauld and John Souttar. Wighton revealed he turned down a move to local rivals Dundee United, as his family are Dundee supporters. While growing up, Wighton initially played out wide before joining Dundee, who then moved him into the striker position. Manager John Brown said in March 2013 that if Wighton continued his form at youth level he could soon make the first team, which could have meant him becoming the club's youngest-ever first-team player. His first team debut for the club was delayed due to SPL rules. Despite interest from elsewhere, Wighton signed his first professional contract on his 16th birthday. After signing a professional contract, he left school to concentrate on his football career. 2013–14 In the 2013–14 season, Wighton made his debut for the club, coming on as a substitute for Craig Beattie in the 81st minute, as Dundee beat Cowdenbeath 2–0 on 5 October 2013. In his second appearance, Wighton set up two goals as Dundee beat Dumbarton 4–1 on 12 October 2013. He then made his first start for the club, as Dundee beat Queen of the South 2–1 on 19 October 2013. He became the youngest-ever scorer in a competitive game for Dundee at the age of 16 years, three months and 13 days on 9 November 2013, beating the record held by Jocky Scott, scoring a goal in a 2–0 win against Raith Rovers. His second goal came on 14 April 2014, when he scored after six minutes, as Dundee beat Cowdenbeath 4–0. Throughout his debut season he regularly contributed in the Dundee first team, making a total of 14 appearances and scoring two goals for the club, in all competitions as Dundee won the Scottish Championship. Throughout the season Wighton was linked with a move to Premier League clubs and Rangers. At the end of the 2013–14 season, the club's manager Paul Hartley said he may consider loaning out Wighton to
