The centre-back led his side in five successive matches before James McClean wore the armband for Wrexham's past two fixtures against Ipswich Town and Bristol City.

"There's a lot of experience there and it's a good thing to know that when you're having a tough time in a game or something's not going too well, you can look to your right or your left and you can see real leaders and experienced pros.
"It's obviously a credit to the recruitment team in creating a good, experienced team here.
"So it's something that I've been really proud to do and hopefully I can do it again at some point in the future."

The Scotland international has been a pivotal figure in Wrexham's defensive improvement and will look to help his side keep a fifth consecutive league clean sheet when Phil Parkinson's men host Hyam's former club Blackburn Rovers at Stok Cae Ras on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
"It is a big occasion for me personally, but at the end of the day it's another game I want to win," added the defender.
"I know a lot of the players there and a lot of the management staff, so it'll be an interesting one."
