Career

Béziers

Initially a forward and then a holding midfielder, Crama began his career in his native France in the Béziers youth system at U11 level. Following a growth spurt, he was developed into a central defender. 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. Despite signing his first professional contract with the club in March 2020, Crama departed the Stade Raoul-Barrière in August 2020.

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, for an undisclosed fee. Following two seasons of exclusively B team football, the option on Crama's contract was taken up in May 2022. On 30 June 2022, he signed a new two-year contract, with the option of a further year. 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. A proposed loan to Ligue 1 club Montpellier during the mid-season transfer window was rejected.
Following an appearance in the first team's opening 2023–24 pre-season friendly, Crama signed a new three-year contract, with the option of a further year. On 25 July 2023, Crama and Brentford teammate Matthew Cox joined League One club Bristol Rovers on season-long loans. Deployed predominantly as a starter when fit, Crama made 34 appearances during a mid-table 2023–24 season.
Following two 2024–25 first team pre-season appearances and inclusion in the first team squad's Portugal training camp, Crama joined League One club Exeter City on a season-long loan. Prior to his recall on 16 January 2025, Crama made 26 appearances, scored four goals and twice won the club's Player of the Month award. He transferred away from Brentford the following day and ended his B team career on 89 appearances and 11 goals.

Millwall

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