Cameron Crestani (born 18 April 1996) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Western Pride FC.[1] He previously played for the Brisbane Roar FC in the A-League.
Club career
In May 2017, Brisbane Roar announced that they would not be signing Crestani on a senior contract for the 2017/18 season. He soon signed on as a marquee player for Western Pride in the National Premier League's Queensland competition.
In September 2017, Crestani scored Pride's first goal in a 2–1 win over Moreton Bay United FC to win the National Premier Leagues Queensland Grand Final, the club's first piece of major silverware.[2]
A few days later it was announced Crestani had re-signed for Pride for the 2018 season.[3]
In 2018 Crestani scored 3 goals in 24 appearances as Pride finished third. He was named stand-in captain for the middle section of the season after an injury to Jesse Rigby.[4]
Personal life
Cameron is originally from Stanthorpe, Queensland, where he grew up on his parents' farm with four brothers.[5] He graduated from Stanthorpe State High School in 2013 and currently studies a Bachelor of Secondary Education at Griffith University.
Crestani's other passion is cricket, having previously won 3 premierships in a row with Souths Cricket Club in the Stanthorpe District Cricket Competition. In 2016-17 he signed for Valley's Cricket Club and scored a club season-high 67 runs vs Tenterfield, including a towering six over mid-off off the bowling of former Southern Stars opening bowler, Amanda Carpenter.
