Announcement: New Vice-Captain Appointment ⭐

It is with a heavy heart that we announce our current Vice-Captain Liam Young will be stepping down due to a serious injury. He has been a tremendous leader, and he will be greatly missed both on and off the pitch. We wish him a full and speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action soon.

In light of this, we are proud to announce that Brad Edge has been appointed as our new Vice-Captain. Brad has consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities, both in matches and during training sessions. He’s the type of player who steps up when the going gets tough, motivating the team when heads begin to drop. His presence in the heart of midfield has been invaluable, showcasing his exceptional footballing abilities, such as reading the game, breaking up play, seamlessly dropping into key positions and scoring goals.

Beyond his skill on the pitch, Brad’s understanding of our game plans and his ability to make tactical decisions have stood out. His coaching abilities during training sessions have proven to be a great asset, guiding his teammates and ensuring everyone is aligned with the team’s objectives.

We are confident that Brad will thrive in this new role and help lead the team with the same passion, resilience, and commitment he’s shown throughout his time with us. Please join us in congratulating Brad Edge on his well-deserved promotion!
