A hallmark of Paul Holleran's Brakes teams over the years has been continuity, with the backbone of the side remaining consistent, and skipper Jack Edwards will continue to be a key part of that going forward, having agreed a deal until the end of the 2020/2021 season.
Since taking the armband from the departed Jamie Hood, Jack has become the focal point of the team. Aside from his brief spell at Solihull Moors he is the longest serving player in the Brakes squad behind James Mace, and is closing in on 300 appearances and a half century of goals for the club.
'Jack has been an important part of the team for a number of years now, and since taking the captain's armband he has raised his game to another level,' said Paul Holleran.
'He's heading towards 300 games for the football club. Every week his performances are wholehearted, fully committed and he has been great for us on and off the pitch. He is a massive ingredient of what we do and we are delighted that we have been able to get Jack tied down to the end of next season.
Speaking after signing the extension to his contract back in February, Jack said: 'I would like to thank the club, coaching staff but mainly Paul Holleran for making my extended stay at Leamington possible. It was not a difficult decision to make; the club strives for consistent improvement, is a great environment to play in and has given me the opportunity to captain a group who motivate and lead themselves. Leamington are a good fit for me and me for them, we are ambitious, so I look forward to what the future holds!'
Over the coming days supporters will be able to hear from people involved in all areas of Leamington FC as we all pull together to help 'Boost Your Club', and our skipper had a few words to say in support of this......
