Lockyer confirmed as Ponty captain for new season

Dafydd Lockyer has been confirmed as Pontypridd captain for the third successive season as the Sardis Road side look to regain the Principality Premiership title.

The 31-year-old centre first became part of the first-team squad in 2003 and, aside from a brief spell at Neath, he has remained with the club since.
 
In that time he has racked up 290 appearances and scored 79 tries and the powerful three-quarter is looking forward to adding to those tallies as the new campaign approaches.
“I can say that I have got used to being captain, but I still get a big buzz out of leading the team out onto the field,” Lockyer told the club website.
“It is a massive honour for me as Pontypridd RFC means so much to me and my family, and we have such a good bunch of boys among the squad.
“It is good to have players of the stature of Chris Dicomidis, himself a former club captain, Rhys Shellard, Dan Godfrey and Jake Thomas backing me up on the field – it makes my job that little bit easier. I can do a lot of shouting and bawling but there are others around me also leading by example.”

Pontypridd begin their pre-season campaign against Bedford on August 13, while their first Principality Premiership fixture sees them head to Bedwas on the first Saturday in September.
