Davis to lead GWS

Davis to lead GWS

02/13/2012 10:30:34 PM

Phil Davis was confirmed as one of the inaugural captains of Greater Western Sydney on Tuesday morning and will share the honour with Callan Ward and Luke Power.

Davis, who has played just 18 games, will become the least experienced captain in AFL history when he is unveiled in central Sydney.

Ex-Bulldog Ward and former Brisbane Lions veteran Power will have an equal share in the leadership.

Davis has been in the AFL system for just two years and missed most of last season with a shoulder injury. The defender signed a five-year deal with the Giants, a move which shocked the Crows at the time.

Ward is also only 21 but played 60 games with the Western Bulldogs before signing with GWS, while Power is the most experienced played on the new club's list having played 282 games including all three of the Lions premierships.
