Ahead of our first match of the new season at Doncaster, we can now confirm the squad numbers for the 25/26 season, which will be worn by the players.

Notably, the number 9 shirt will be worn by Jayden Wareham with the blessing of the Stansfield Family. Since the tragic death of Adam Stansfield in 2010 aged just 31, the shirt number was retired for nine seasons a mark of respect for a player who gave everything on and off the pitch. The shirt has since only been worn by an academy product - Ben Seymour in 2020/21 and then Jay Stansfield himself when he joined the club on loan in 2022/23. The Stansfield Family have now given their blessing for the shirt number to be returned to service and be worn by Jayden. Click here to find out more.

With the new signings, Ryan Rydel will wear number three, Ethan Brierley number six, Sil Swinkels number 16, Luca Woodhouse number 20, while Johnly Yfeko and Joe Whitworth retain their number 15 and one shirts worn during their loans last season. Kevin McDonald switches from 28 to 29. 

Ed Turns has claimed the number 4 shirt having previously worn 20 last season, while Kieran Wilson previously 49 now wears 37 and Liam Oakes, previously 46 now 34 have new numbers.
