Marlon Pack has been appointed Pompey captain for the 2023/24 campaign.
The 32-year-old midfielder will inherit the armband from Clark Robertson, who left the club at the end of last season.
He said: “Everyone knows about my affiliation to Pompey and just what it means to me and I’m so pleased.
“I led the side on several occasions last season, but to be announced as captain of the team I support is a big moment in my career.
“I’ve already lived the dream of most kids from Portsmouth just by playing for this club, so it’s a real honour.
“It caught me off guard when the gaffer announced it to the whole squad and the staff – that was a really nice touch.
"I led the side on several occasions last season, but to be announced as captain of the team I support is a big moment in my career."
“We’ve got a few leaders in this squad – some will be vocal and others will lead by example. We all want to be driving each other on and that’s key for a successful team.
“I don’t think being captain will change my approach too much, but there’s added responsibility, such as making sure the new lads are comfortable and just being there for the group.”
Blues boss John Mousinho added: “Marlon is obviously someone who cares about this club a lot and he’s a real leader.
“That will always be the case, whether he’s wearing the armband or not, but we felt he was the natural choice to be named captain.”
Pack returned to Fratton Park last summer, with the academy graduate having left in 2011 and featured for Cheltenham, Bristol City and Cardiff.
He made 37 appearances for the Blues during the 2022/23 campaign and scored five goals, including against Wycombe on the final day.
