BEING a former state touch football representative, Josh Leisemann developed a skilful passing game with a burst of speed.
However, he also credits two decades in the Brothers Ipswich rugby league system for helping him secure his latest captaincy opportunity.
Fresh from Brothers' season-opening 36-0 shutout of Fassifern, five-eight Leisemann remains a proud clubman, happy to lead alongside 2019 grand final-winning skipper Wes Conlon.
"It's my first time as captain this year. I'm pretty honoured,'' Leisemann, 27, said.
The Ipswich born and bred footballer shared why he has remained loyal for more than 20 years.
"It's just the family vibe, the culture and its professionalism,'' he said.
