Wallabies center Samu Kerevi has been named captain of the Queensland Reds for the 2019 Super Rugby season.
He takes over the captaincy from backrower Scott Higginbotham who remains a member of the Reds squad and will retain a leadership role.
Kerevi has played for Queensland since 2014 and has 25 test caps for Australia.
Rugby.com.au reports that Kerevi has long been earmarked as a future captain of the club and while he may only be contracted until the end of 2019, Queensland fans will be hoping he is their leader for many years to come.
He has been a force in the Queensland back line since that breakout season and is now an integral part of the Wallabies’ best 23.
