Wright Takes Number One Shirt from Supple - Ipswich Town News

Keeper Richard Wright has been handed back his number one shirt in Town's squad list for the season ahead. Kevin Lisbie is the Blues' new number 11 and otherwise the list is as TWTD reported last month.

Shane Supple, previous holder of number one, is now Town's number 27, while Matt Richards, on loan at Brighton until January, has vacated the number three shirt, which presumably will go to Ben Thatcher if the Wales international completes his move to the Blues, and is now number 30.

As previously reported, Tommy Miller goes back to his old number eight, while Gareth McAuley takes over number four from Jason De Vos, David Norris moves to number 10, David Wright to number two and Pim Balkestein is number 15.

Academy midfielder Jai Reason is handed number 39 after recently signing his first professional deal with the club.
