Rovers Bring In Defender

Bristol Rovers have completed the signing of Tranmere Rovers defender Mark McChrystal on a short-term deal.

The 28 year old centre back has recently been on loan at League One side Scunthrope where he made three appearances. The 6’1″ centre back has made over 40 appearances for Tranmere Rovers. Whilst on loan at Scunthorpe he was playing just in front of Rovers new keeper Steve Mildenhall, he has also represent Northern Ireland at Under 18 and Under 21 level.

The signing of McChrystal seems to be a replacement for Cian Bolger who has returned to Leicester City after his loan spell ended. A bid to bring Bolger back to Rovers has been rejected.
