RYAN ALDRIDGE believes he has settled on a solid leadership group that will lead by example for Leeds Knights during the NIHL National campaign that lies ahead.
The Knights started out the campaign with just captain Kieran Brown - who led the team to league and play-off glory last year - alongside just the one assistant, or ‘alternate’, in veteran centre Matt Haywood. Knights’ head coach Aldridge said he would leave one, possibly two, alternate captain spots open for other players to effectively ‘put their hands up’ such a role.
He’s a great kid and a big part of what we want to build here. “He has taken on more responsibility throughout the last year or so - he is there in key situations, in tough situations, he’s always the one who stands up for the team.” Aldridge said Gospel was one of the most experienced players in the Knights’ locker room, whose importance could not be over-stated. “Gossy is one of those players in the locker room that when he talks, everyone listens,” added Aldridge.
