Scarlets Keep Flanker Macleod as Captain for the Season.

The Scarlets have announced that Wales flanker Josh Macleod will serve as captain for a second consecutive season.

Josh Macleod made only three appearances last season due to ankle and knee injuries and hasn’t played since facing Clermont in January.

The 27-year-old is nearing a return but will miss the URC opener against Benetton in Treviso on Saturday, with Gareth Davies stepping in as captain.

“It’s a huge honor for me and my family,” Macleod said. “The past couple of years have been challenging, but I’m looking forward to getting back on the field soon.”
