Midfielder John Welsh has been named as the club captain ahead of the new season. Michael Jolley recently swooped to make the 34-year old his seventh summer signing with the former Hull City and Preston North End midfielder joining the club on a two year deal.
Speaking of the news, the gaffer said: “John Welsh is going to be the captain for the new season. I spoke with the staff about that, and also with the players. We think that John can be a good leader for us, but there are three or four key individuals in the dressing room – the likes of James McKeown, Danny Collins and Martyn Woolford.”
Thanks mate I will be proud and privileged to wear the armband 👍🏻 https://t.co/H3tDtddZ93
