Dundee Football Club can confirm that Joe Shaughnessy has been named as the new Captain of the club.
Joe joined us this summer after previously being with St Mirren where he was also captain, and he also wore the captain’s armband at St Johnstone.
On being announced as the new club captain, Joe said, “It’s brilliant, it’s an honour to be captain of a club like this. It is a good group of players that I’ve got to know in the last few weeks, and I am really looking forward to it.
“The manager said he was looking for me to come in and lead the team and be that player. I try and lead by example and give everything for the team, for the club, for the dressing room and do whatever it takes to achieve success.
“It is a role I’ve done before at St Mirren and St Johnstone and I’ve learnt as I’ve gone along and I will use what I’ve learnt to help me in this role here.”
