Swope Park Rangers announced via twitter Wednesday that their first ever signing will also be their first captain. Christian Duke, a native of Overland Park, Kansas was confirmed as the Rangers captain for their inaugural season.
"It feels good," Duke replied when asked about becoming the first captain for the Rangers. "Coming back to Kansas City I know what to expect from the organization and what the first team wants and giving the new guys a feel for what it is going to take to get the next level."
Duke does know the organization; he has been at every level of Sporting Kansas City.
