Club career

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Crespo made his senior debuts with local Racing de Santander's C-team CD Tropezón. He played mostly in Segunda División B but also in Tercera División in his early years as a senior, representing Real Murcia Imperial, Águilas CF, Lorca Deportiva CF,[1] Lucena CF and Gimnástica de Torrelavega.[2]

On 5 July 2012, Crespo signed with CD Mirandés, freshly promoted to Segunda División.[3] On 11 September he appeared in his first professional match, a 2–0 home win against Recreativo de Huelva for the season's Copa del Rey.[4]

On 2 January 2013, Crespo joined third level club Deportivo Alavés.[5] He finished his debut campaign with 20 appearances (playoffs included) as the Basque side returned to division two after four years, appearing in 12 matches during his second where he acted mainly as a backup to new signing Iñaki Goitia.

On 29 August 2014, Crespo moved to Real Murcia also in the third tier.[6] On 17 June of the following year, he joined fellow league team Lleida Esportiu.[7]
