Coventry name Grimes as new club captain
- Published
Midfielder Matt Grimes has been appointed Coventry City's new club captain.
The 30-year-old inherits the armband from midfielder Ben Sheaf, who departed to join Wrexham at the end of the summer transfer window.
Grimes has prior experience with captaincy, having previously taken on the role for over five years while at Swansea City before joining the Sky Blues in January.
"It's an honour to be named captain of this football club," Grimes said.
"I'm looking forward to leading the team out this weekend for the first time. It's something I've done before in my past, but I feel like it feels a bit more special.
"To come into the group earlier in the year and now to be selected by the gaffer, it's truly a proud moment for me."
Defender Liam Kitching has been named vice-captain.
