Career

[edit]

Béziers

[edit]

Initially a forward and then a holding midfielder,[3][4] Crama began his career in his native France in the Béziers youth system at U11 level.[5] Following a growth spurt, he was developed into a central defender.[4] Crama progressed to the reserve team and made 6 Championnat National 3 appearances between October and December 2020, before being promoted into the first team squad and making five Championnat National appearances during the second half of the truncated 2019–20 season.[6][7] Despite signing his first professional contract with the club in March 2020,[5] Crama departed the Stade Raoul-Barrière in August 2020.[8]

Brentford

[edit]
Crama playing for Brentford B in April 2022.

On 25 August 2020, Crama moved to England to join the B team at Championship club Brentford on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year,[8] for an undisclosed fee.[9] Following two seasons of exclusively B team football,[10] the option on Crama's contract was taken up in May 2022.[11] On 30 June 2022, he signed a new two-year contract, with the option of a further year.[10] Crama was including the first team squad for its 2022–23 pre-season and mid-season training camps and was an unused substitute during five regular season matches.[7][12][13] A proposed loan to Ligue 1 club Montpellier during the mid-season transfer window was rejected.[14]

Following an appearance in the first team's opening 2023–24 pre-season friendly,[15] Crama signed a new three-year contract, with the option of a further year.[16] On 25 July 2023, Crama and Brentford teammate Matthew Cox joined League One club Bristol Rovers on season-long loans.[16] Deployed predominantly as a starter when fit,[7][17][18] Crama made 34 appearances during a mid-table 2023–24 season.[19][20]

Following two 2024–25 first team pre-season appearances and inclusion in the first team squad's Portugal training camp,[21][22][23] Crama joined League One club Exeter City on a season-long loan.[24] Prior to his recall on 16 January 2025,[25] Crama made 26 appearances, scored four goals and twice won the club's Player of the Month award.[26][27] He transferred away from Brentford the following day and ended his B team career on 89 appearances and 11 goals.[28]

Millwall

[edit]

On 17 January 2025, Crama transferred to Championship club Millwall and signed a "long-term" contract for an undisclosed fee.[29] Injuries led to his immediate breakthrough into the team in an unfamiliar right back role.[30] Crama played the majority of his 20 appearances in the position during the remainder of the 2024–25 season.[26][31]

Crama made 50 appearances and scored three goals during the 2025–26 season,[32] in which he made half of his appearances at right back.[33] Crama's performances led to him being voted the club's Players' Player of the Year and receiving Championship Team of the Year recognition from the EFL.[34][35] The season ended with defeat in the playoff semi-finals,[36] during which Crama suffered an injury to his right ankle, which required surgery.[37] After returning to fitness, Crama sustained an injury to his left ankle during his first 2026–27 pre-season friendly appearance, which required surgery.[37]

Personal life

[edit]

Crama's father was a semi-professional footballer and coach.[3]
