Town Announce Squad Numbers - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced their squad numbers for the 2016/17 season with Teddy Bishop’s switch from 27 to seven - worn last year by Ainsley Maitland-Niles - the most notable change.

New signing Adam Webster will wear the number 15 shirt and Paul Digby, who joined on a permanent basis having been on loan from Barnsley last season, 14.

Andre Dozzell, 41 last season, has moved to 23, while James Blanchfield, last year’s number 43, will wear 24. Shane McLoughlin has been handed the number 25 having been last year’s 40.

Keepers Dean Gerken and Bartosz Bialkowski retain numbers one and 33 respectively, while Cameron Stewart keeps the number 35 he was handed last summer and Kundai Benyu is again given the number 31, despite not having been involved with the first team during any of the pre-season friendlies.
