Career

Béziers

Initially a holding midfielder, Crama began his career in his native France in the Béziers youth system at U11 level and following a growth spurt,[3][4] he was developed into a central defender.[5] He 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,[4] Crama departed the Stade Raoul-Barrière in August 2020.[3]

Brentford

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,[3] for an undisclosed fee.[8] Following two seasons of exclusively B team football,[9] the option on Crama's contract was taken up in May 2022.[10] On 30 June 2022, he signed a new two-year contract, with the option of a further year.[9]

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][11][12] A proposed loan to Ligue 1 club Montpellier during the winter transfer window was rejected.[13] Following an appearance in the first team's opening 2023–24 pre-season friendly,[14] Crama signed a new three-year contract, with the option of a further year.[15]

On 25 July 2023, Crama and Brentford teammate Matthew Cox joined League One club Bristol Rovers on season-long loans.[15] Following six starting appearances,[16] a tendon injury suffered in training on 15 September 2023 saw Crama return to Brentford for treatment.[17] He returned to match play on 21 October 2023.[18]

Personal life

Crama's father was a semi-professional footballer and coach.[19]
