“They have shown over the last lot of years how good a team they are in winning Premierships and other cups.”

McChrystal is the latest summer signing for the Crues after the arrival of Brian Jensen, Sean Ward, Jamie Glackin and Mark McAllister.

“I am extremely pleased to get Mark to the club,” said Seaview boss Stephen Baxter.

“His pedigree is exactly what we need to join us and he will bring a vast amount of experience as we go into the new season.”
