Pompey announce squad numbers
Pompey have announced their squad numbers for the 2017-18 campaign.
All of Kenny Jackett’s 28-man squad have been allocated a number, despite the Blues keen to offload the likes of Gary Roberts and Michael Smith.
Skipper and summer signing Brett Pitman has been given the number 8 shirt, with Nathan Thompson handed the number 20 previously occupied by Noel Hunt.
Luke McGee (1) and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis (3) complete the newcomers to the squad entering the League One season.
