Neil Harris has announced that Shaun Williams will be the club's new Captain.

Shaun Williams has been named as the Gills new Club Captain for the 2023/24 Sky Bet League 2 season.

Manager Neil Harris confirmed his choice in his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon, with Max Ehmer taking on the role of Vice-Captain.

Williams, 36, joined the club last summer and scored three goals in 47 appearances in all competitions. One of his goals was a last minute stunner against Carlisle United who went on to win promotion via the play-offs.

Williams is a former Republic of Ireland international and played under Neil Harris at Millwall, winning promotion to the Championship in 2017. 

On being named Captain, Shaun said: "It's a privilege and an honour and it's something that me and my family appreciate.

"Leading by example, setting high standards and setting expectations of myself and my teammates."

Neil Harris added: "Shaun is a top pro, his experience speaks for itself. He knows me better than anybody else in the group, he knows how to read me as a person which I think is important.

"He is a leader by example and a leader by doing."
