Larne FC announce new 'senior leadership group' initiative

Larne have announced a new 'senior leadership group' which will see different players wear the captain's armband this season.

Included in the panel will be club captain Jeff Hughes and senior players Tomas Cosgrove, Leroy Millar and Cian Bolger.

Hughes will continue in his role as club captain, while experienced defender Cosgrove and summer signing Millar will also be involved in wearing the armband on match day.

Larne boss Tiernan Lynch told the club's website: “One of the things we discussed going into this season was increasing the sense of leadership within the squad.

“To help with that we have created a senior player group within the squad. This gives the players a voice and a sense of responsibility and it also shows the group that we need more than one leader to succeed.

“On the pitch, we will see Tomas Cosgrove wearing the armband more often this season. Tomas is someone who has been very loyal to the club and has grown as a leader in recent years.

“Leroy Millar also naturally carries a lot of leadership skills and has already demonstrated that in his short time here so far.

“Jeff continues to be our Club captain, he’s a Larne man through and through and we’re delighted to have him continue in that role.”
