Aldred, 29, joined the Queenslanders from Scottish Premiership outfit Motherwell in June.
The defender is the sixth club captain in Brisbane history, taking the armband from games record holder Matt McKay.

“The great thing about our squad is that it is full of natural leaders and players that will play for one another, for the badge and for the fans,” Fowler told the club’s website.
“It is a great honour to have the opportunity to wear the armband and lead the team out, and it’s one that Tom has thoroughly earned.”
“Both Tom & Roy have been a key part of our pre-season preparations, working hard to bring out the best in themselves and their teammates.
“I’m excited for the season ahead and what this team can produce, under the leadership of our new captain and vice-captain, as all Brisbane Roar fans should be.”
