Denbigh Town Ladies FC have announced their captain and vice-captain for the coming season.

Elen James-Owen will be captain with Carla Rizzi appointed vice captain.

New Denbigh manager Jordan Baker had this to say: “I am very happy with my choice of players in this situation.

“Elen has shown great quality since I have come in and been commanding on and off the pitch. I look forward to working with Elen to accelerate the ladies growth.

“Carla has an outstanding professional approach. She has shown great commitment so far and is a key figure in the changing room.”

Denbigh announced the good news recently that last season’s top scorer, Rosie Hughes, will be staying with the team for the 2020-21 campaign.

New players, defender Rosie Gillis, midfielder/attacker Alisha Mather, Jess Duff, a young talent who plays at the back, the exciting Cara Jones and Miriam Owen, 17, a prospect who has shown great defensive capabilities, have also joined the squad.

Baker expects to announce a couple more additions to the ranks soon.
