Ramsey named Wales Captain

Agency :
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been named Captain following Gareth Bale’s retirement to lead his country in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, the Welsh FA announced on Tuesday.
Ramsey has done the job before, having been made Wales skipper aged 20 by the late Gary Speed in March 2011 before Ashley Williams inherited the armband.
The 32-year-old is one of the most senior figures in the Wales camp with 78 caps and ideally suited to lead the young 24-man squad named by head coach Rob Page on Tuesday.
“As long as we have someone of Aaron’s quality, it’s natural for him (to be captain). He has a responsibility to the younger players and teach them what it’s all about,” Page said in a statement.
