"I've come in here for five weeks only to be as good a captain as I can be and I'm glad Straussy is coming back," the 25-year-old was quoted by Press Association Sport as saying.
He went on to suggest that he is keen to captain the side again in the future, stating that he will particularly look to improve his leadership in the dressing room.
