Club Confirm Squad Numbers

Last updated : 28 September 2008 By Andy Beill
Most of the numbers had already been guessed at, with the players wearing their new numbers in the recent friendlies.

Wayne Brown swaps to number 5, with new signing Bernard Mendy getting his old number, 15.

Craig Fagan changes to the number 7 previously held by Stuart Elliott for six years.

Dean Windass sticks with number 9 instead of the number 10 shirt he has more commonly worn in his career. Geovanni takes that number, which was last worn by defender Neil Clement after Stephen McPhee joined Blackpool.

Péter Halmosi wears 16, the same number he had at Plymouth.

George Boateng has been given number 20, Tony Warner 26 and Anthony Gardner 30.

The lowest unassigned number is 17, which was recently vacated by Michael Bridges. 23 and 24 are also free, as is 25, which was worn by Fraizer Campbell until he returned to Manchester United.

33 and 34 remain available, while Liam Cooper switches from 37 to 35.

First year professionals Jamie Devitt (36), Bill Law (37), Joe Lamplough (38), Steve Gardner (39), Ryan Kendall (40) and Nick McNamara (42) are given their first numbers, while goalkeeper Tom Woodhead goes from 26 to 43.

41 remains free, as does Jay-Jay Okocha's old number, 44.

35 players in all have been given numbers, of which 12 have come through the club's youth ranks in recent years, not including Windass.
