Gaffa Notes:
"With Bridgey and Carty not being around as much this season we wanted a new captain this season and offered it around the squad to see who rised to the challenge, there was a few outstanding candidates but in the end Lewis was the stand out choice. We wanted a captain who firstly leads by example, one who has the respect of his team mates and one that will go the extra mile on and off the pitch for the team and I'm 100% sure Lewis will drive this club forward.

We have named Rhys Lewis as Vice Captain. Rhys and experienced pro who has the upmost respect from everybody at the club will be the perfect understudy to Lewis"
