Squad Numbers Announced - Ipswich Town News

Town have confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026/27 Premier League season.

New signings Issa Diop and Abdul Fatawu have been handed six and Wes Burns’s number seven respectively with Julio Enciso the number 10.

Florentino Luis gets 12, Emersonn 19, Sasa Lukic 23, Kayne van Oevelen, who is set to join Valencia on loan, 31, Kjell Scherpen 37, Daizen Maeda 38 and Abdoul Ouattara 42.

George Hirst, who is set to join Stoke, isn’t given a number, his nine having been left vacant, but Ben Johnson, who is expected to move to the Potters on loan, keeps his 18.

Ali Al-Hamadi is also left off the list with the Iraq international also expected to move on, a switch to Polish side Raków Częstochowa having broken down following his medical.

Darnell Furlong moves from 19 to number two having signed after numbers were allocated last summer, Harry Clarke the previous owner of that shirt.

Veteran keeper David Button is given 27, perhaps indicating he will play some part with the first team, most likely in cups.

Alex Palmer keeps the number one shirt, despite looking like being the third-choice keeper or moving on.
