Jed Wallace named new West Brom 2023/24 captain by Carlos Corberan
Jed Wallace has been confirmed as Albion’s new club captain for the 2023/24 season.
The Baggies kept the identity of Carlos Corberan’s new skipper under wraps until 2pm on the opening Championship matchday of the season, when team news was confirmed for Albion’s tussle with Blackburn at Ewood Park.
And 29-year-old winger Wallace, an experienced and popular member of the squad with team-mates and supporters, was selected for the role for the new season.
The former Millwall stalwart takes the mantle from Jake Livermore, who departed at the end of his contract in the summer.
Corberan told Wallace and the rest of the squad the news before training on Friday. The winger admitted it was difficult to articulate how he felt after receiving the “honour” and said he would do his utmost to bring success to The Hawthorns.
Wallace said: “It’s such a huge honour and privilege for me and my family to be named the new captain of our football club.
“It’s difficult to put into words just how proud I felt when Carlos told me on Friday morning.
