Briers, 29, who is coming to the end of his testimonial year, has led the Wolves for the last five years but will now concentrate solely on his football.

"I felt going forward that we needed to take the pressure off Briers, both on and off the field," explained coach Paul Cullen. "The bottom line is I want him to turn up for work with a smile on his face to play football and have the responsibility for that and that only."

Morley, 30, who is starting his second season at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, captained Great Britain against France last June and led the Northern Union team in the centenary international against the All Golds at Warrington in the autumn.

"He was an obvious choice," added Cullen.

"His seniority and his international record was a major factor in my decision process.

"He has all the right attributes - the way he lives his life, his attitude at training and his attitude on the field is simply first class."

Morley's vice-captain will be hooker Jon Clarke, who joined Warrington from London Broncos seven years ago and made his Great Britain debut against New Zealand.
