Barnsley defender Stephen Foster has won the race to take over the captain's armband from the departed Brian Howard on a permanent basis.
Foster, Jon Macken and Darren Moore have all stepped in to take the armband since Howard left for Sheffield United and Foster, who should return to the side tomorrow against Watford, has won the race to be named permanent skipper.
Foster told
www.barnsleyfc.co.uk:"I am absolutely delighted. That is probable the best way to describe how I am feeling at the moment after being handed the armband on a full time basis.
"To get the captains' role last season when Brian Howard was not around was nice but to be made Club Captain at Oakwell is a massive honour.
"I do not think it will make me play any differently but I am more of a talker than a shouter on the pitch anyway.
"It is a massive honour for me and I know my family will be extremely proud".
Meanwhile South Yorkshire police say they are monitoring the Hume/Morgan incident closely but have said they will not intervene unless Barnsley Football Club or Hume ask them to.
A statement on
