PNE play the numbers game

The striker had worn No.25 since joining PNE three years ago but now has the traditional centre-forward's number - it was vacated by Simon Makienok's departure.

Andy Boyle has also changed squad number, taking No.6 after previously being No.24.

Declan Rudd will wear the No.1 shirt following his arrival from Norwich City, while Josh Harrop has been given the No.10 shirt.

Sean Maguire is to be North End's No.24 and Kevin O'Connor No.25, both players set to join-up with the North End squad later this month after signing from Cork City.

Melle Meulensteen, Callum Roberts and Josh Earl who have signed professional contracts after coming through the youth ranks, will wear 30, 31 and 32 respectively.
