MALTA KNIGHTS NATIONAL TEAM CAPTAINCY APPOINTMENTS
| Captain | Period | Matches
| Dallas Weston
| 2004 | 1
| Ben Sammut
| 2004-2008 | 7
| | Daniel Grima | 2009-Current | 2 |
 Dallas Weston played professional rugby league for the Parramatta Eels and North Sydney Bears in Australia. Weston also represented NSW City in 1993. Weston captained the Malta Knights in their first ever match at Melita Stadium in Sydney in 2004.
A long term bicep injury in his debut as captain then limited his ability to represent the national team until his return to the national team when Malta took on Lebanon in 2006.
 Ben Sammut played professional rugby league for the Sharks in Australia and the Gateshead Thunder and Hull FC in England's Super League. Sammut captained Malta in their first ever rugby league international on Maltese soil in 2005 and is the longest serving (2004 to 2008) captain of the Malta Knights.
Found at fullback in his junior days, Sammut moved into the halves for Malta and decided to call it a day in rugby league with retirement at Floriana Stadium when Malta overcame the British Defence Forces 34 to 24 in 2007.  Daniel Grima (D.O.B. 31-8-1974), from St Paul's Bay, is the first ever Maltese based captain of the national rugby league team, debuting as skipper in 2009 and leading the Malta Knights into official European competition against Norway in 2010.
Daniel was introduced to rugby league late in his rugby career and made his national team debut in 2007, aged 33, against the British Defence Forces at Floriana. Daniel is a dual rugby international having previously played for Malta's national rugby union team following a career with Kavallieri RFC. Within the Malta Rugby League Championship, Grima plys his trade for the North.
