Newcastle defender captained the club at the weekend.
Jamaal Lascelles’ injury which kept him out of the weekend’s clash with Chelsea meant Paul Dummett was handed the captain’s armband.
This was a big opportunity for the Wales international and he has been reflecting on the honour.
Sending a message on Twitter yesterday, Dummett said that Sunday’s game provided him with the proudest moment of his career.
Dummett’s Newcastle were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Chelsea, after conceding a late goal.
Normal captain Jamaal Lascelles is expected to return for their next league fixture, with the Chronicle reporting the ankle injury he sustained was only considered to be minor.
Newcastle travel to Nottingham Forest in the League Cup this week before an away trip to Manchester City in the Premier League this coming weekend.
Talk ahead of the City clash will no doubt be focused around whether Newcastle will repeat their experimental formation to play five defenders.
