Club career

Cranston spent his early career with Wolverhampton Wanderers before signing his first professional contract, a one-year deal with a further year's option.[2][3]

In March 2014, Cranston joined Conference Premier side Nuneaton Town on loan until the end of the season.[4] Upon his return from a loan spell at Nuneaton Town, having made seven appearance, Cranston was released by Wolverhampton Wanderers management upon expiry of his contract.[5]

After being released by Wolves, Cranston joined Hednesford Town on a free transfer.[6] However, only seven days at the club, Cranston re-joined Nuneaton Town.[7]

After one appearance on his return to Nuneaton Town, Cranston signed for Notts County on 1 September 2014, with the club's official website stating the contract was a short-term deal.[8][9] On 2 September 2014, Cranston made his professional debut for Notts County in a 2–0 Football League Trophy victory against Mansfield Town.[10] Cranston made his league debut for the club, playing as a left-back, in a 0–0 draw against Peterborough United eleven days later after making his debut.[11] Having made eight appearance between September and October, Cranston was awarded an 18-month contract, keeping him until January 2016.[12]

He joined Lincoln City on loan in February 2015,[13] before being recalled in April 2015.[14]

In July 2015 he went on trial with Gateshead,[15] and later that month Cranston left Notts County by mutual consent.[16] He signed a one-year contract with Gateshead in August 2015.[17] Cranston joined National League rivals Cheltenham Town for an undisclosed fee on 30 January 2016,[18] being given the number 21 shirt.[19] On 10 May 2018, it was announced that Cranston would leave Cheltenham at the end of his current deal in June 2018.[20] He signed for Morecambe in July 2018.[21]

In May 2019, following the end of the 2018–19 season, Cranston's goal was voted 'Goal of the Season' at Morecambe's end of the season awards.[22] In June 2019 he signed a new two-year contract with Morecambe.[23]

In August 2020, Cranston joined Solihull Moors for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.[24]

International career

Cranston made two appearances for Wales under-19s in 2011.[25]
