West Ham name their new captain for 2024/25 season | OneFootball

Jarrod Bowen has been named as West Ham’s captain for the upcoming season.

Bowen joins an illustrious list of names to wear the armband for the Hammers, including World Cup winner Bobby Moore.

The flying winger will lead the team out at the London Stadium this term with veteran defender Aaron Cresswell being named as vice-captain by coach Julen Lopetegui.

“I am incredibly proud and happy to be West Ham United captain,” Bowen told the club’s official website.

|We’ve had many great moments here as a Club. I’ve been here four-and-a-half years now, so to be named Club captain is a really proud moment and one that I’ll wear with great honour.

“It’s four and a half years since I joined, but it’s felt so much longer and that’s the enjoyment of playing for this Club and the relationships I’ve had with all the sets of players we’ve had, the managers we’ve had and the fans.

“It’s been one heck of a journey and from when I first signed to be sat here four-and-a-half years later and be named Club captain makes me so proud.”

West Ham start their Premier League season on Saturday at home to Aston Villa.
