JOE Edwards has backed the future captaincy credentials of 24-year-old Plymouth Argyle midfielder Adam Randell and offered to help him wherever he can.
Edwards has been an outstanding skipper for the Pilgrims over recent seasons but is currently out of action until early 2025 after a significant hamstring injury. Randell took over the armband for the 1-1 draw away to Derby County last Saturday as he returned to the team a short lay-off and Edwards believes he is the 'perfect candidate' to continue to wear it.
Head coach Wayne Rooney predicted that Randell would at some stage become the full-time Argyle captain following the game against Derby, and Edwards has agreed with him.
Edwards told Plymouth Live: "I think that's certainly something we as a club, and I'm including myself in that, hope to see because he is a Plymouth boy, which makes it even more special. The talent he has got, and the attributes he holds, very much point towards being a leader.
He may not be at the moment the most vocal and I think that's where I can really help him.
