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 appearances, Cranston was released by Wolverhampton Wanderers management upon expiry of his contract. [5]

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 appearances 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]

On 20 June 2022, Cranston joined National League North club AFC Fylde on a one-year deal. [26] His contract was not renewed at the end of the season. [27]

After leaving AFC Fylde, on 28 June 2023, Cranston joined Hereford. [28] On 13 January 2024, Cranston joined Southern League Premier Division Central club Redditch United on a one-month loan.
