Burnley manager Eddie Howe explains his decision to appoint defender Jason Shackell as the club's new captain.

Burnley manager Eddie Howe has appointed defender Jason Shackell as the club's new captain.

The 28-year-old joined the Clarets from Derby County on a four-year deal earlier this month.

"It's Jason's natural role and I think he has settled into it really well," Howe told the club's official website.

"He has everyone's respect here and I think we saw immediately what a good player he is."

Shackell skippered Burnley during their 4-1 win over Altrincham yesterday.
