[edit] Playing career
[edit] 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]
[edit] 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.
[edit] Rotherham United
In June 2010 Cresswell joined Rotherham United on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee.[9]
