Crankshaw started his career with Preston North End before joining Northern Premier sides Ramsbottom United and then Clitheroe. In October 2017 Crankshaw joined Colne where he caught the eye, scoring 13 goals in 30 appearances. During this time he also played for Morecambe's under-23 squad.

In January 2020 Crankshaw was loaned out to Dundee for the remainder of the season.[3] He scored his first goal for the club on 10 March at home against Ayr United, in what would be the final game of the season due to its early finish caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5]

Crankshaw made his debut for The Latics in an EFL Cup match against Fleetwood Town in September 2020.[6] He scored his first goals for Wigan when he scored twice in a 6–1 EFL Trophy win over Liverpool U21s on 22 September.[7]
