Born in Rødovre, Crone progressed through the Brøndby IF youth academy before being promoted to the first team in July 2014. After a loan to Brønshøj Boldklub, he began making an impact for Brøndby under head coach Alexander Zorniger as a left-back. In 2018, he signed with Silkeborg IF where he grew out to become team captain, before moving to Lyngby Boldklub in January 2021.
Besides his club career, Crone has represented Denmark at youth levels between U16 and U20.
Career
