Crane made quite an impression during Bath's pre-season friendly against Ulster in August 2008 by scoring three tries[2] and he went on to save the EDF Energy Cup game against Sale Sharks in October 2008 with a last-ditch tackle in the corner that prevented the Sharks from scoring a winning try.[3]
On 31 May 2013, Crane signed for London Welsh in the RFU Championship for 2013/14 season.
Following London Welsh's administration, Crane became the Director of Rugby at Tonbridge School, where he still works.
