Suggestions please on bringing the vocal closer to the track!

When i listen to this back the vocal seems to sit too much 'on top' of the mix - thoughts/suggestions please.

Try a delay that is VERY short. Something in the 60-90ms range.

I could also hear it sort of distorted during the verses.

Yep, this is a good way to do it. Also, as noises get farther away, they lose high frequencies, so cutting some high end out will move it back as well. Another thing you can do is cut the "presence" frequency of the vocal somewhere typically between 3-5kHz to make it sit back further.
