A graduate of the Sheffield United youth academy, Cresswell failed to break in the first team and was hence loaned to clubs in the lower divisions of English football. In 2008, after being released by Sheffield United, he signed for Bury in League Two. Playing more than 50 matches for the club, he joined Rotherham United two seasons later.
Cresswell again changed clubs in 2012, penning a contract for Southend United. He was named in the League Two PFA Team of the Year for the 2012–13 season. The following season, he was transferred to Fleetwood Town with whom, he won promotion to League One. In 2014, after failing to make much impact at Fleetwood he again came to League Two, joining Northampton Town
