Mortimer 'delighted' to come back as Mayo captain

Mayo manager John O'Mahony has given the nod for versatile forward Trevor Mortimer to continue as captain of the reigning Connacht champions.

Mortimer's housemate Peadar Gardiner will assume the role of vice-captain, with Mayo currently gearing up for their first competitive outing since their All-Ireland quarter-final exit at the hands of Meath last August.
