A Hornby junior in the Canterbury competition, Crequer was a Schoolboy Kiwi in 1979 and a Junior Kiwi in 1983.[2] Crequer transferred to Auckland for the 1986 season, joining the Northcote Tigers.[3][4]

Crequer made his Canterbury run-on debut against St.George in round 8 scoring 5 goals at fullback & came on as a replacement in rounds 17 & 19 against Easts & Penrith respectively, scoring one goal in each game. After this he returned to play league in New Zealand.

Crequer played for the Christchurch City Shiners in the 1994 Lion Red Cup.[6] He switched to the Canterbury Country Cardinals in 1995.[7]
