Club career

Born in Sa Pobla, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Crespí finished his development at local RCD Mallorca. He made his senior debut whilst on loan, successively representing Segunda División clubs Granada 74 CF,[1] Xerez CD[2] and Elche CF;[3] he scored his first goal as a professional on 9 March 2008 while at the service of Granada, in a 2–1 away loss against CD Castellón.[4]

After returning to the Estadi de Son Moix, Crespí's maiden appearance in La Liga took place on 3 October 2010 when he played the entire 1–1 away draw with FC Barcelona.[5] During his two-year spell, he appeared in only 21 matches in all competitions.[6]

Crespí moved to the Ukrainian Premier League on 12 July 2012, after signing with FC Chornomorets Odesa.[6] In the following transfer window, he returned to his country and joined second-tier team Racing de Santander.[7]

In the summer of 2013, after being relegated, Crespí signed a one-year contract at fellow league side CE Sabadell FC.[8] He scored his first goal for them on 21 December of that year, helping to a 3–0 away victory over CD Tenerife.[9]

After suffering another relegation, Crespí took his game to the China League One, starting out at Qingdao Huanghai FC.[10] After a stint with Nei Mongol Zhongyou F.C. in the same tier, he joined Indian Super League club Delhi Dynamos FC on 23 August 2018.[11]

Crespí won two caps for Spain at youth level. His only for the under-20s came on 21 March 2007, in a 3–1 friendly win against the Czech Republic.[12]
