Club Captain

We are delighted to advise that Theo Hovenden-Kelly has been appointed as our Club Captain for the season 2026/7.

A hugely popular and highly-respected member of the men's Firsts, Theo will be a familiar face to many of you.

Reflecting on his appointment, Theo said: "It's a massive honour for me to be appointed Club Captain for the coming season. It has always been a huge source of pride to me to represent the people of Salmo and the wider club community on the pitch, so I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to do so in this role.

"I'd like to thank Kevin Burke for everything he brought to the role of Cub Captain last season. His determination and the manner in which he led by example showed how much both the club and the position meant to him. His leadership undoubtedly played a significant part in many of the positive results we achieved throughout the season.

"Having come so close to promotion last year, the squad is hungry to push on and achieve success. The level of talent, determination and leadership within the playing group is higher than anything I've seen at the club before. We're all therefore hugely excited to get back for pre-season and see how far we can go this year."
