The Welders said: "Midfielder Jonny Frazer has joined the Welders from Premiership side Crusaders. Jonny was on loan at the Welders last season but has now moved to the club on a permanent move.
"Welcome back tot the club Jonny from everyone at the club."
Speaking back in February, Frazer outlined his Premiership ambitions as he set his sights on regular game time with the Welders.
He said: “There is no doubt in my mind that I have the ability to be playing regularly in the top-flight and scoring goals. I have always had a desire to be playing football – I’m not happy to not be playing and that is why I have had various loan deals in my career, because I want to be on the pitch.
“I want to get back to enjoying my football again – it is a great feeling to look forward to Saturdays again. This season at the Crues I was in and out of the team, but now I know that I can play and get a chance to make an impact.”
