Hibs captaincy confirmation as Lee Johnson makes Hanlon, Marshall and Porteous decisions

Hibs have announced their captaincy roles for the 2022/23 season, with new signing David Marshall made first-team captain.

The 37-year-old joined the Hibees earlier this summer and has captained them during their Premier Sports Cup group stage campaign, although that stretch of four matches ended badly for new boss Lee Johnson, suffering an early exit. Easter Road legend Paul Hanlon continues to be club captain and Ryan Porteous will take on a leadership role.

Marshall will lead the team on matchdays and Hanlon takes on the the armband if the goalkeeper misses a match. Porteous is the Hibs leader in the event both miss out. Johnson said: "David Marshall will be our team captain. He is a player with extensive experience and is a well-respected figure in the dressing room. He has been captain for the majority of pre-season and has really impressed me both on and off the pitch in terms of those leadership qualities.
