Swansea City 2021/22 squad numbers revealed as key shirt left vacant, goalkeeper hint emerges and new signing takes over from legend

Swansea City have announced their squad numbers for the upcoming season.

Steven Benda has landed the No.1 jersey and is expected to be the club's first choice shot stopper under Russell Martin.

New signing Jamie Paterson has taken the number 12 shirt most recently worn by club legend Nathan Dyer while Joel Piroe, Kyle Joseph and Liam Walsh will wear the number 17, 14 and 28 jerseys respectively.

Captain Matt Grimes retains the No. 8 shirt, although Jamal Lowe is the new number 10, meaning the number nine shirt is currently vacant.

Other significant changes see defender Ben Cabango shift from 44 to five while Tivonge Rushesha has taken the number 19 shirt. Morgan Whittaker is the new number 11.

The full list is available below.
