Newly appointed captain Andy Yiadom on the ‘privilege’ of skippering the side

There’s a wealth of knowledge in the head of Andy Yiadom. Vastly experienced as a player, and hugely respected as a person… he’ll be leading out the team this season after being named as our new club captain.

And selected by manager who wore the armband in an England shirt, too.

“It’s a privilege,” Yiadom said. “I’m buzzing to be captain. We’ve got a good set of boys, and ultimately I just want to be a service to everyone. A service to the players, and a service to the club. So I’m looking forward to it.

“To some extent it is a natural progression… I was captain at Barnet and Barnsley, where I learned a lot, made mistakes, and now I’m ready to pull everything into one. I want to learn from it all.

“It’s about being myself. Trying to come in every day with a smile on my face, having banter with the boys like I do, and trying to help the boys.

“I want to be a service to the players, and the club”
