VELLA AND BRISCOE TO TAKE CONTROL
19th January 2009
Mick Vella - retains captaincy role for the 2009 season
Shaun Briscoe - named vice captain
Hull Kingston Rovers Head Coach Justin Morgan has announced that Australian International Mick Vella will retain his captaincy for the forth coming engage Super League season.
...they will work well together in leading the side to victory this year... Head Coach Justin Morgan
Former Hull FC fullback and England International Shaun Briscoe will support Mick in his role - being named as vice captain.
30 year old Vella has consistently led from the front since being appointed as captain last year and was an obvious choice for Justin Morgan, as he proved his worth as a respected captain both on and off the field, leading the side to a seventh-spot finish in the league table.
The leadership abilities that the former Parramatta Eels player possess will certainly aid him in guiding the Red and Whites to the top of the table this year.
Vella commented: The captaincy role is a great honour for me, I never take the position for granted and when Justin asked me to carry on with the captains role I was really happy to accept. Im looking forward to working with Shaun Briscoe as the vice captain, he is a player with huge amounts of talent and is well respected within the game.
Shaun Briscoe has impressed players and coaching staff in the short time that he has been with the team, his attitude at training and the professionalism that shines through was a contributing factor in Justin naming him as the vice captain.
At 25 years old Briscoe has been set a challenge that he is looking forward to, and has a great example to follow in Vella and commented: I was delighted to be offered the role of vice captain, I know that I can learn a lot from Mick. Im ready for the challenge that this opportunity will bring and cant wait for the season to start.
Morgan added: Mick did a great job last season and the boys have a lot of respect for him, he offers the team and the coaching staff a wealth of experience, he is a very good captain. Shaun has impressed me since he arrived and he has built up a good relationship with his team mates, which will only be of benefit to the club, they will work well together in leading the side to victory this year.
