Joe Shaughnessy “ready to give everything” as he is appointed Dundee captain

Joe Shaughnessy expressed his joy after being named the new captain of Dundee.

The 31-year-old Irish defender joined the cinch Premiership newcomers this summer from St Mirren, where he previously served as captain.

Additionally, Shaughnessy had experience wearing the armband during his time at St Johnstone.

Shaughnessy told Dundee’s official website: “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.”
