Career

Sheffield United

Cresswell started his career with Sheffield United, but got his first taste of first team football with non-league Halifax Town where he was loaned during the 2006–07 season.[1]

Cresswell went out on loan again at the start of the 2007–08 season, spending time at Rotherham United.[2] The Blades recalled him however because they didn't think he was playing enough games having started only 2 games for the Millers, and making two substitute appearances.[3] He was quickly loaned out again, this time to Morecambe[4] but only managed a further two league appearances at Christie Park.

He joined Macclesfield Town on loan for the remainder of the season in January 2008[5] where he played 19 times, scoring one goal.

During the close season he agreed to a one year load deal with one of Sheffield United's many partner clubs Ferencváros.[6]

Bury

Despite joining up with Ferencváros for pre-season training[7] only a few weeks after agreeing the loan move Cresswell joined Bury on 11 July 2008 on a two-year contract.[8] Ryan made his Bury debut as late sub in the first game of the season in a 1–0 win at home to Brentford on 9 August 2008. Cresswell got his first goal for Bury on 1 November in a 1–0 win at Notts County.

Rotherham United

In June 2010, Cresswell joined Rotherham United on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Southend United

On 10 July 2012, a disappointed Cresswell signed for Southend United after being transfer listed by Rotherham United.[9] He signed on a two-year deal. On 25 August 2012 Cresswell scored his first goal for Southend, a 92-minute equaliser in a 3–3 draw with Northampton Town. On 4 September 2012 Cresswell scored another injury time goal, this time it proved to be the winner as Southend triumphed 2–1 over AFC Wimbledon in the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Cresswell had a good first season at Southend United, finishing 2nd to Sean Clohessy in Southend United's 2012/13 Player of the Year. Creswell, along with Clohessy, was named in the PFA League Two Team of the year for 2012/13.[10]

Fleetwood Town
