Nombe gets the nine shirt as Dons reveal squad numbers
The new squad numbers have been unveiled ahead of the new season
Summer signing Sam Nombe has been handed the number 9 shirt for the new season.
Returning to MK Dons after a big-money move from Rotherham United, Nombe will don the single digit on his back for the first time, having worn 27 during his first spell at the club prior to his 2021 departure. Last season, it was worn by Scott Hogan.
There were not many changes to the existing numbers from last season. Will Collar has moved from 18 to 14, taking over the number from Joe Tomlinson, with Charlie Waller taking up the 18 from 35.
New signing Dan Barlaser will pull on the 4 shirt, vacated after Nathan Thompson departed back in January, while Charlie Goode will wear 5, which never appeared last season while it was registered to Sam Sherring.
Full-back Cohen Bramall will sport 15, which last season belonged to Luke Offord, with Sam Silvera taking up 17 after Jonathan Leko’s exit.
Curtis Nelson moves from 25 to 35 for the forthcoming season, while the number 3 third remains untouched after Dean Lewington’s retirement at the end of 24/25.
New first year pros Hayden Boyce, Jack Perniskie, Elisha Boateng and Brooklyn Kazungu will wear numbers 36, 39, 42 and 37 respectively.
