Players Bio: Mark is a crucial player to have in any squad, described as the best finisher at the club. Crusey’s knowledge of the game and awareness on the pitch can’t be taught, he always seems to find himself in areas to either win games or provide a telling pass. A real nice guy and someone every young player could learn something from.

An injury plaged 2010 so far, Cruse will be hoping to string some games together in the latter half of the season and force his way into Coops' plans. 

If Mark spent less time on the Rochedale Rovers website and more time running he would be unstoppable. A player out of the “Cody Lovell” mould with the turning speed to rival any large cruise ship, former assistant Tim Brown has certainly 'seen milk turn quicker'
