Town Announce Squad Numbers for 2017/18 - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced their squad numbers for the 2017/18 campaign.

New striker Joe Garner has opted for the number 14 shirt with the number nine vacated by Leon Best at the end of last season still unfilled. Another striker is understood to be top of Mick McCarthy’s wish-list.

Recently-signed loanee Dominic Iorfa will wear the number two shirt which was Steven Taylor’s during the second half of last season, while Bersant Celina has been given the 11 worn by Brett Pitman for the last couple of campaigns and Tom Adeyemi number 15.

That shirt was Adam Webster’s last season but the former Portsmouth central defender has switched to Christophe Berra’s old number six for the season ahead.

Emyr Huws is sticking with 44, while Danny Rowe is moving to 17, which leaves Kevin Bru, who has been told he can move on if he can find another club, currently without a squad number.

Youngsters Flynn Downes and Tristan Nydam, numbers 43 and 45 last term, will wear 21 and 22 during the season ahead.
