United to sign Crusaders defender McBride
BALLYMENA United have signed Crusaders defender Stephen McBride for next season.
The long-serving left-back has signed a pre-contract agreement and will join the Sky Blues when his current Seaview deal expires at the end of this season.
He becomes Glenn Ferguson’s first new recruit in what is expected to be a busy summer of transfer activity at the Showgrounds.
In other contract news, utility player Mark Surgenor has followed team-mate Aaron Stewart in signing a new two-year deal.
