Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds has been announced as the club's captain for 2020.

Taking over from the retired Sam Burgess, Reynolds was excited by the extra responsibility and opportunity to lead from the front.

“It’s an absolute honour to be named captain of this Club. There are so many people to thank and my goal is to do them all proud,” Reynolds told rabbitohs.com.au.

“I’ve always hoped that I would be considered for the captaincy so to have this opportunity is a dream come true.

“I grew up across the road from Redfern Oval in apartments on Elizabeth Street and always wanted to play for Souths, so to have the chance to captain the team is amazing.

“It’s not a one man job here at Souths, so it’s great to know I’ll have Cody (Walker) and Cookie (Damien Cook) alongside me in the leadership group in 2020.

“This is a privilege I don’t take lightly and we will do the Members and supporters of this Club proud every time we represent the Rabbitohs.”

Coach Wayne Bennett added: “Adam is highly respected by the playing group here and is South Sydney through-and-through.

“He came here as a kid and has been part of South Sydney all of his life.

“I know what it means to him to be captain and really like his calmness as a leader.

“I’m looking forward to watching him lead this group alongside Cody Walker and Damien Cook who are also part of the leadership group here at South Sydney.”

  3. Congratulations Adam.
    Another champion grass roots South Sydney Junior with 1 premiership under your belt no doubt will follow our other grass roots junior Johnny Sutton to more premierships as our Captain.
    Born and raised South Sydney, The Pride Of The League.

  4. It is expected that with their 3 Billionaire owners, the greatest coach in History, the Roosters highest point scorer passing on our winning culture ……. the South Sydney Sombreros should win the comp this year.

    If their new captain can not bring home the trophy, it will be another failure that will keep 21 in the jealous rage coma he has been in since the Roosters claimed another back to back title

  10. Bad choice. Old, injury prone, will distract his general play, and players if anything like 21, the jealousy will help implode the green and red rabbit transit.lounge club, with big heads like Walker knowing in his own mind he should of had the job.

    I feel he along with Cook will be summoned to Nana Glen Farm where Russ can ease their grief with some massive green and red paper bags from the Souths Sombrero Chief.

  11. Excellent choice, in this day and age loyalty has gone out the door.
    It’s good to see loyalty rewarded. Adam will retire at Souths with maybe be a season or two in England at the end.
    I’m getting tired of all the disloyal players jumping clubs they are still contracted too but wanting more money elsewhere.
    I know it’s a business but it just annoys me.

    “Looks like he’s back, said he would be didn’t you woody”

    Obviously the ‘Sombreros’ tag everyone associates with the roosters has hit a big nerve with him.
    OUCH!!!! 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
