SAINTS are keeping supporters guessing who will be wearing the number 25 jersey in 2023.
That particular shirt for the club's 150th season is being reserved for a new signing, yet to be revealed.
Regan Grace's exit means Jon Bennison will take over the number 5 jersey, which is the headline change to the numbers worn this year.
All other squad numbers 1-17 are unchanged from the 2022 season.
From 18 onwards, there are a number of changes with Jake Wingfield (18), James Bell (19), Dan Norman (20), Ben Davies (21) and Sam Royle (22) all moving up in number from the 2022 season.
James Roby will again wear the number 9 shirt for his 20th and final season in the Red V as he hopes to eclipse the all-time club appearance record.
Konrad Hurrell retains the number 23, previously worn by other overseas stars in the recent era.
Saints Academy graduates George Delaney (30), Daniel Moss (31) Ben Lane (32) and McKenzie Buckley (33) are all given squad numbers following their debuts in 2022.
All talk now though is around the number 25 shirt and a new signing.
With the club’s quota spots full for 2023, there is availability to fill this space from within the domestic club market.
