AFTER displaying his leadership qualities in pre-season, Darren Pratley has kept the captain's armband at Wanderers.
Boss Phil Parkinson has been impressed by the midfielder's input this summer and he had no hesitation in asking Pratley to lead the side again.
"Prats is going to be captain, him and Jay (Spearing) have been the two that myself and Steve Parkin have sat down with and discussed discipline and fines," he said.
"Their attitude is excellent, you need senior players with the right attitude and professionalism, the young players can aspire to that, and it’s so important that the likes of Jay and Darren show those leadership qualities.
"They’ve certainly done that."
