Head Coach Ty Watson said “_Alex Brown was a logical choice for the position, a natural leader with a huge heart, great work rate, inspiring defence and all round good guy.
“Being involved with the club and it’s successes over the last few years has been a great experience and to be named captain being a local lad is a great honour!_” beamed Brown when asked about his appointment.
