Micky Adams has announced he has made Robert Page the Club's new captain,relieving Stephen Hughes of the duty.

Said Adams: “Robert is a vastly experienced player, both domestically and at international level, who is a natural leader on the pitch. “He commands a huge amount of respect from both young and senior players and I believe this is the right decision for the Club moving forward.”

“I'd like to thank Stephen for his contribution as skipper and hope that he continues to show the same level of commitment to the Club moving forward."

The decision has fuelled rumours that the midfielder could be on his way when the transfer window reopens in January.
