The numbers game

Steve Jones - will wear number 9
Of the changes, predictably Jon Harley, who wore the number 21 shirt last season, has taken the number 3 shirt previously held by Danny Karbassiyoon, whilst Micah Hyde has relinquished the number 8 shirt and move to 18 with Alan Mahon getting the number 8 after wearing 23 last season.

9 and 10 will be on the backs of Steve Jones and Andy Gray (20 last season) respectively and that means Graham Branch moves back to 15 from 9, the number he held for four seasons from 1999 to 2003.

The only other player to move number is Gifton Noel-Williams who has been allocated number 21 having previously worn the number 15 shirt.

New signing Stephen Foster gets the number 22 shirt, and that's the highest number to be allocated with numbers 13 and 20 not used.

Danny Karbassiyoon, currently on trial at AZ Alkmaar, and Duane Courtney have not been allocated numbers increasing speculation that they could both be leaving the club in the near future.
