Last updated : 16 July 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Jim O'Brien has said that he would be honoured to be the Coventry City captain this season.

Speaking to the Coventry Observer's Steve Carpenter, O'Brien who took over the captain's armband when Reda Johnson starting having injury problems, said: "It would be nice to be made captain again this season. “It was a great honour when I got it.

“Maybe I did well, maybe I didn’t. I don’t know – I’d never been captain before.

“Obviously Sam (Ricketts) and Reda (Johnson) are contenders but it doesn’t change anything.

“In myself I’ll probably be a bit disappointed if I’m not but that’s just a natural feeling.

“Whoever the captain is next season I’m sure the manager will might the right decision on that so I’m not going to get too worried about it.

“I think I preferred being captain if I’m honest, but I do understand it can come with added pressure and I think that’s just down to the individual.

“I quite enjoyed being captain last season. I suppose you don’t want to be the captain of a team that’s not doing great – it doesn’t look good for yourself.

“But it was a great honour and if I’m given the armband again this season then that would be great.”
