Jarrad McVeigh and Kieren Jack's time as co-captains came to end on Friday when Josh Kennedy was officially sworn in as stand-alone skipper ahead of season 2017.

It ends a four-year reign from McVeigh and Jack.

McVeigh became co-captain with Adam Goodes at the beginning of the 2011 season, leading the side to three grand finals, a premiership and countless other successes after first having to deal with personal adversity.

Jack replaced Goodes as co-captain ahead of the 2013 season, the tough and courageous midfielder leading from the front through his on-field actions and performances.

To celebrate their time as leaders, sydneyswans.com.au have compiled a collection of the best photos from McVeigh and Jack's time as captains.

Newly appointed co-captain Jarrad McVeigh poses for cameramen alongside fellow skipper Adam Goodes at the Sydney Swans' 2011 Season Launch.

McVeigh and Goodes lead the side out for the first time as co-captains - Round 1, 2011.

McVeigh grabs at his black arm band after kicking a goal in the Sydney Swans' semi-final clash against Hawthorn in 2011. The arm band was a tribute to his daughter Luella who passed away from a heart condition shortly after birth in August.

An image that will be forever etched in the hearts and minds of Swans supporters.

One of Kieren Jack's first orders of business as co-captain was leading the side its Round 5 Anzac Day clash against St Kilda in Wellington, New Zealand.

It didn't take long for Kieren Jack to find his voice.

Both Jack and McVeigh made a habit of standing up when it counted... Who could forget when Jack put his side in front during the Swans' Round 1 clash against Essendon in 2015.

...and McVeigh's two crucial goals in the Swans' Round 8 against reigning premier Hawthorn at the MCG in the same year.

Jack and McVeigh are front and centre alongside teammates during a press conference addressing the booing of Adam Goodes in July, 2015.

A sign of things to come? McVeigh takes over as coach for the Swans' pre-season challenge game against Port Adelaide at Blacktown in 2016.

After a taxing week for the Jack family, Kieren stars in his 200th game as the Sydney Swans defeat Geelong by 38 points in Round 16 earlier this season.

Jack and McVeigh lead the side out for the final time as co-captains.

The pick of the bunch!
