THE iconic No.9 shirt is still up for grabs after Forest Green revealed their squad numbers for the 2019/20 EFL League Two season.
Christian Doidge was the No.9 incumbent last season and Rovers are understood to have seen a bid for Peterborough striker Matt Stephens rejected, according to reports.
The summer transfer window is due to slam shut on Thursday, August 8 at 5pm.
Of the new arrivals, goalkeeper Adam Smith has been handed the number one jersey, Dominic Bernard will be wearing the number three shirt occupied by Scott Laird last term, Matt Mills will wear five, and Aaron Collins will be in the number 10 shirt, vacated by Reece Brown.
While Taylor Allen will wear 12, Ebou Adams 14, James Morton 15, Kevin Dawson will be 18 and defender Liam Kitching 20.
LIoyd James and Charlie Cooper are without squad numbers.
None of the players who were at The New Lawn last season have changed their numbers for the upcoming campaign.
