Peterborough United manager Grant McCann has revealed his new captain and vice captain as Posh gear up for their return to League One. Jonson Clarke-Harris has been named as Peterborough’s new captain for the 2022/23 campaign, despite constant speculation surrounding his future.
Via the club’s official website, McCann explained his decision to name Clarke-Harris as skipper: “When Cliff, Dale and I joined the club, we felt that Jonson would be a good leader and he just needs to carry on from last season, continue to lead by example and apply himself as he has done on and off the pitch.” JCH struggled to adapt to the Championship last year, with Darren Ferguson ultimately unable to get the best out of his main man.
Just five goals in 30 matches by the time McCann arrived saw Clarke-Harris benched in the new gaffer’s first game, a 3-0 defeat at McCann’s previous side Hull City.
However, Clarke-Harris then went on to play in every remaining game, scoring an impressive seven in 13 despite Posh’s relegation.
