Defender Luke Shiels (29) will assume the role of the club's on-pitch team captain, while long-serving winger Jay Rollins (25) has been appointed as club captain.

"Luke obviously has past experience of leading teams in this league," said manager Elliott. "I have been impressed with the way he conducts himself and you can clearly see his leadership qualities."

In terms of Rollins' appointment, Elliott added: "I think it is fitting that Jay is club captain this season. He's our longest-serving player and somebody who shows the right attitude in every game.

"He's a well-respected player both on and off the pitch.
