Edwards to Remain Skipper - Ipswich Town News
Town manager Paul Jewell says he has no plans to replace Carlos Edwards as captain. The signing of former Nottingham Forest skipper Luke Chambers had led to speculation that the 26-year-old might be handed the armband.
But Jewell told the club site: "I don't see any reason to change who wears the armband. Carlos did brilliantly for us last year as skipper and the role seemed to add to his game.
"You don't have to wear the armband to be a leader and that's what we want Luke to be, a leader. Like everyone else, we want him to lead by example on the pitch.
"It's not really about who has the armband. It's about what you do out on the pitch and in and around the club during the week. That's what makes a leader."
