Perth Glory name Lawrence and Dalton as captains for 2026-27

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 14:02 · Archive

Tom Lawrence will captain Perth Glory's men's team and Isobel Dalton the women's side for the 2026-27 A-League season.

Perth Glory have named Tom Lawrence as sole captain of their men's A-League side for the 2026-27 season, with Isobel Dalton continuing as captain of the women's team for a third consecutive year.

Lawrence, a Manchester United academy graduate and former Rangers forward, starred in his first A-League season with Perth before injury. He has made more than 400 senior appearances in the United Kingdom and earned 23 caps for Wales. He was announced as captain at the club's season launch and 30th anniversary event at WA Museum Boola Bardip on Tuesday night. He signed a two-year extension with the club in the off-season.

Lawrence limped off at half-time of Perth's 2-0 pre-season win over the WA State side on Saturday with a knee issue, but the injury is understood to have been mere bruising rather than serious. Dalton, a former Most Glorious Player winner, battled injury last season but was a permanent fixture in the midfield when fit and should move into the club's top 10 for A-League Women appearances this season. Glory CEO Ben Leaver said both captains would provide excellent leadership on and off the field.
