Chester joint-boss Anthony Johnson has confirmed midfielder Scott Burton, a summer arrival from Salford City, will captain the side this season.
Burton led the Blues out for the 7-0 pre-season friendly defeat at the hands of Premier League giants Liverpool, although Johnson admitted there were a host of ‘characters’ to choose from in the dressing room.
"Scott will be our captain this season but with characters like Gary Roberts, characters like Steve Howson, characters like Grant Shenton and Gary Stopforth, he would be the same player if he didn't have the captain's armband on," he said.
“He’s proud. One of the reasons he wanted to come to the club was the fact he was going to be captain of this football club.
“There’s no big fanfare and it isn't an issue to anybody, but he will be a very proud player with the armband on."
