Wales’ midfielder Josie Green has been given the captaincy at Tottenham Hotspur.

Green, who penned a two-year contract in June, has been promoted from her role as vice-captain.

She replaces Jenna Schillaci after she opted to retire.

The 27-year-old was part of the Spurs side which won the quadruple in 2016/2017 and oversaw two promotions to the Championship and the WSL. 

 “It’s a huge privilege and honour for me to be named captain of this great football club and it’s a really proud moment for me and my family,” said Green.

“I take great pride in leading by example on and off the pitch. I experienced being vice-captain and leading the team out in some big games last season, and I hope to build and drive the team forward this season.”

The Hemel Hempstead-born midfielder has been with Spurs since 2016 after moving from Watford, where she spent six years.

Green has 11 caps for Wales, since her first cap in 2010.
