Crusaders sign Bruce from Airdrieonians

Crusaders have announced the signing of defender Cameron Bruce on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The 20-year-old joins from Airdrieonians, who he made 10 appearances for, and will add to Declan Caddell's side's defensive options.

Bruce is the first signing that Caddell has made since the transfer window opened as the north Belfast side attempt to extend their unbeaten run to more than three games and move further clear of the bottom two in the Irish Premiership.

"We are delighted to add Cammy to the squad," Caddell told Crusaders media after the announcement.

"He is a player we have been watching for a while and when the opportunity came to sign him, we jumped at it.

"He is a very talented player who will fit in really well with the group."

The Crues travel to the Coleraine Showgrounds on Friday night to face the Bannsiders in the fifth round of the Irish Cup with the match live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
