Captain Kewell will add spice to Heart-Victory derby opener Kewell will captain Melbourne Heart. Kewell will make a fine leader, according to coach John Aloisi.. HARRY Kewell will this morning be named as Melbourne Heart skipper in what is sure to add spice to the opening-round derby against Victory. It's believed Kewell, just two months after joining Heart, will be announced as the club's third skipper at a 10.30am press conference. Kewell has worn the armband in the pre-season after coach John Aloisi revealed at his opening press conference that the Socceroos' World Cup star was in contention to lead the side this season. ``We'll make that decision come the end of the pre-season. Harry is one of the older players, and I class him as a leader anyway _ he's one of these players that always sets a good example," Aloisi said. Kewell, who has played only a short-term stint with Qatar club Al Gharafa since quitting Melbourne Victory in June 2012, said he would have no qualms about wearing the armband. ``If it falls to you, it's an honour. It's not an easy role, but there's a few players here that are up to it," Kewell said. ``If it does fall to me, I'll take it, and I'll thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to lead this young team out. Kewell replaces Brazilian Fred, who has left the club. Heart's Dutch defender Rob Wielaert is in doubt for Round 1 next month after spraining his ankle on Friday. Wielaert, 34, has impressed in the pre-season after joining from Roda JC Kerkrade.
