Rossiter has worn the armband throughout pre-season but head coach Simon Grayson has confirmed the defensive midfielder as the man to lead his side this season.

Former Preston North End captain, under Grayson, Clarke will be the vice captain for the Cod Army this campaign despite only joining the club this summer.

On being appointed the new club captain, Rossiter said: "I'm absolutely delighted. For the gaffer to give me the armband and for me to lead the lads, it's a nice thing, it was great to hear.

"That's not going to change me as a person or me on the pitch.

"I'm just going to be the same as I always am but it's nice that the gaffer is trusting me with the armband.

"It's an honour to have and I can't wait to wear it this season and see where the season takes us."

The new vice captain is one of eight new faces to have been brought in and they have all now been assigned squad numbers officially.

Brad Halliday will be no.2, Clarke no.5, Darnell Johnson no.6, Callum Morton is Town's new no.9, Anthony Pilkington is no.11, Ryan Edmondson is no.17, Max Clark is no.28 and goalkeeper Harry Wright is no.21.

Fellow goalkeeper Alex Cairns has had his no.1 shirt restored, whilst Joel Coleman, who was the owner of that number last season, has not been given a squad number.

Young stars Harrison Holgate, Ged Garner, Jay Matete, Shayden Morris, and James Hill have all been given new squad numbers, lowering their number from last season. They are now no.18, no.19, no.20, no.22 and no.23 respectively.
