DEFENDER Janos Kovacs is the new captain of Hereford United.

Manager Simon Davey said: "I have appointed Janos as club captain. He's professional, a leader and he does all the right things that a professional footballer wants to do.

"Janos is an outfield player and will be in the thick of things.

"He's the manager in the dressing room when I am not there and he makes sure the players are disciplined when there's no staff around."

Davey added: "He's the spokesperson when there's anything the players need to see me about."
