Chester FC have released details of their squad numbers for the 2014-15 Conference Premier campaign.

With the new season kicking off on August 9, manager Steve Burr has now allocated numbers to his new-look squad, which includes no fewer than 11 new signings.

Nine players remain from the 2013-14 season, which ended in relegation only for the club to be handed a reprieve when Hereford United were expelled from the Football Conference, but all nine will be wearing new numbers.

New goalkeeper Jon Worsnop, who was signed from Alfreton Town, has been given the number one shirt with transfer-listed John Danby switching to number 13.

Michael Kay swaps his number two shirt for number four having impressed as a centre back towards the end of last season, Craig Mahon moves up from number 21 to number seven and John Rooney takes the number 10 shirt.

Experienced left back Gareth Roberts, who has impressed in pre-season after joining from Notts County, has been handed the number three shirt and could be a contended to captain the side, as could Matty Brown, who will wear number five.

Ex-Scotland international Chris Iwelumo will wear number nine and will be expected to lead the line and Peter Winn has been given number 11, suggesting he could be the first-choice left winger.

Kingsley James has been allocated number eight but fellow midfielder Danny Harrison, who is nearing full fitness after almost 10 months out injured, switches from number six to number 17.

Burr and his right-hand man Jon McCarthy are keen to add at least one new face to the squad before the start of the season and the number 15 shirt has been left vacant with another central midfielder the priority.

Youth team graduates Liam Blake and Tom Peers have been handed number 20 and 21 respectively, while teenage forward Sean Miller could be added to the squad if he continues to impress in training with the first team.

Burr's side travel to Evo-Stik League Division One South club Newcastle Town tonight (7.45pm) for a pre-season fixture before hosting League Two outfit Tranmere Rovers on Wednesday (7.45pm).
