Squad numbers confirmed. #7 retired.

I wouldn't read anything into that, a lot of players like to keep their first squad numbers (think McCormack 44, Ampadu also 44, Alexander-Arnold 66 etc).

I believe Isaak Davies in particular wears 39 because it was Bellamy's number.

Good points about keeping favourite numbers. However, as a show of support/confidence in Colwill especially, I’d have liked to see him handed a ‘main man’ squad number.
