Kevin Wilkin: Luke Rowe deserved Telford honour
Luke Rowe’s character was one of the reasons Kevin Wilkin gave the midfielder the armband in their defeat against AFC Fylde.
The Bucks’ regular captain Matty Brown is out injured, and stand-in skipper Robbie Evans was suspended due to picking up his 10th yellow card of the season last week, and Wilkin explained his decision to award Rowe the armband.
He said: “Luke wants to be there and lead. He is not the tallest and the biggest in stature but he has got a big heart and he wants to do things the right way – he has a real desire to progress his game. Credit to him, he worked incredibly hard alongside Prince Ekpolo at the weekend. Hopefully, we can grow his game and him as a player.
“He is a terrific guy and people with his sort of character and application are players that we want at this club.”
