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]

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]
