Adelaide have announced Chelsea Randall as their stand alone AFLW captain for the upcoming season.

Randall has been captain for what will now be a sixth season, having shared the role over the past four. She previously shared the role with star Erin Phillips.

She is joined in a new-look leadership group by Sarah Allan, Eloise Jones and Stevie-Lee Thompson.

Head coach Matthew Clarke said that the club was in a strong position leadership wise as evident by the class in the leadership group.

“Chelsea is the natural leader of our group and we are thrilled to have her lead for a second year as our sole captain,” Clarke said.

“She typifies our culture with her selflessness, competitiveness and team-first attitude.

“We have so many strong, emerging leaders at our Club, and while not everyone has a leadership title, they still have the ability to influence the team and our environment.

“To see Stevie-Lee enter our leadership group is not only great recognition for her on a personal level, but also shows the great depth of leaders in our squad.

“We are excited for Stevie-Lee to take that next step in her career and we think she will add another dynamic to the group.”
