[edit] Club career
[edit] Southampton
Cranie attended Buckler's Mead Community School in Yeovil, Somerset between the years 1998 and 2003 after completing his primary school education at Birchfield Community School.
He was a member of Southampton's youth team that reached the final of the FA Youth Cup in 2005, losing on aggregate to Ipswich Town.
In 2005, Cranie spent time on loan at Bournemouth, making three appearances for the club.
On November 7, 2006, he joined Yeovil Town on loan until January. [1] After spending 2 months back with Southampton, on March 2, 2007 he returned to Yeovil on loan until Easter.[2] He made his first and only 2006–07 appearance for Saints in the second leg of the play-off semi-final against Derby County where he acquitted himself well although his side were defeated on penalties.
[edit] Portsmouth
Cranie signed for Portsmouth on June 26, 2007, where he rejoined his former manager Harry Redknapp.[3]
He made his Portsmouth debut in the first home game of the 2007–08 season against Manchester United on August 15, 2007 where he had a solid performance at right back.
On October 6, after three appearances for Portsmouth, Cranie agreed to join Queens Park Rangers on a three month loan. QPR, bottom of the Championship, were interested in Cranie when he was with the Saints.[4] His loan was ended, however, due to suffering a broken leg after just six appearances for the London side.[5] In September 2008 he joined Charlton Athletic on loan until the end of the year.[6]
[edit] International career
On August 16, 2007 Cranie was called up for the England U-21 squad. [7]
