He is a product of Livingston RFC, Crosbie rose through the ranks of the West Lothian side before an opportunity arose at the capital outfit, Currie RFC.

He made his debut for Edinburgh off the bench against the Italian outfit Zebre coming on for Cornell du Preez in 64th minute.[2]

In December 2017 after impressing with a physical and abrasive style of style of play allied with a rare turn of pace for a player of his stature, Crosbie signed his first professional deal with the club which will keep him at Edinburgh for at least the next two-and-a-half years.

He was called up to Scotland's squad for the 2019 Six Nations Championship.[3] He was called up again to the 2020 Six Nations Championship squad.[4]
