Pools to decide on new captain
CHRIS Turner will start from a clean slate when he decides who will lead out Hartlepool United next season.
The Pools director of sport needs to appoint a new skipper after Michael Nelson turned down the chance to extend his six-year stay at Victoria Park and made the move to League One big boys Norwich City.
Turner has confirmed Ritchie Humphreys will remain as Pools club captain but he is yet to decide on who will lead the team out on the pitch.
The former Sheffield Wednesday manager will use Pools' pre-season programme to decide on the skipper for the opening game at MK Dons on Saturday, August 8.
Turner said: "I've got a clear mind.
"Ritchie Humphreys will remain as club captain and the captain on the pitch will be determined on what I see, what I feel and it could be someone I bring in who is not here yet.
"I've got an open mind. But I want the whole team to be captains ideally and that's something we have to bring out more than in the past."
