Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Rane joined the Mumbai youth team in 2008.{{cite news|title=Jayesh Rane: Fans Player of the Year|url=http://www.wifa.in/?p=6196|access-date=7 October 2016|work=Western Indian Football Association|date=1 May 2015|archive-date=30 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160730123649/http://www.wifa.in/?p=6196|url-status=live}} During the 2012 I-League U20, Rane ended as the league top scorer with thirteen goals. Rane was then called up to the first-team for the Federation Cup but did not see the field during the tournament due to Mumbai being knocked-out early. Rane did eventually make his debut for Mumbai in the I-League on 3 November 2012 against Salgaocar. He came on as a 90th-minute substitute for Subhas Chakrobarty as Mumbai lost 1–0.{{cite web|title=Mumbai 0-1 Salgaocar|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2012/11/03/india/i-league/mumbai-fc/salgaocar-sports-club/1394158/|website=Soccerway|access-date=20 February 2018|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304091845/http://int.soccerway.com/matches/2012/11/03/india/i-league/mumbai-fc/salgaocar-sports-club/1394158/|url-status=live}} Rane then scored his first professional goal for the club the next season on 18 October 2013, also against Salgaocar.

Rane was bought by Atletico de Kolkata in the draft for the 2017 season in ISL. He played 13 games in the season without registering a goal or an assist. He signed a contract extension on 20 March 2018 with the club. On 2 December, in the match against Chennaiyin FC he scored his first goal for his club ATK.
