Sean Clare will wear No 2, while fellow new signings Joel Cooper, Marcus McGuane and Dylan Asonganyi have been given 16, 18 and 23 respectively.

Matty Taylor retains the No 9 shirt he wore on loan last season, while Dan Agyei, who wore 23 last season, inherits Jamie Mackie's No 19 jersey.

As it stands there is no No 11, which was most recently worn by Tariqe Fosu until his move to Brentford in January.
