Wanderers appoint Michael Beauchamp as captain

Western Sydney Wanderers have announced defender Michael Beauchamp as captain.
　
Beauchamp said he was happy to be appointed as the captain of the club.
　
He said: 'It’s a huge honour to be handed the armband to wear at any club but it is certainly that little bit more special to receive it for a club in its foundation year that represents everything about my boyhood days and dreams.
　
'I don’t expect to change too much about the way I approach my preparation and play as I’d like to think that I put in 110 per cent into everything I do.
　
'I’m definitely a leader by my actions and I’m someone who will motivate on the pitch in the heat of the battle.
　
'I am a local boy and it goes to show that no matter what background you come from, the sacrifices you make as a youngster do pay off.
　
'I’m proud to have grown up in this community and to now represent it is something that I take great pride in.'
