SAINTS have released details of their squad numbers for the forthcoming season.
Summer-signing Frazer Richardson will wear the no.2 shirt previously worn by Dan Harding.
Harding will now be no.3, the shirt worn last season by Wayne Thomas, who was released this summer.
Fellow new boy Ryan Dickson has been handed the no.5 shirt vacated by Chris Perry who was also let go during the close season.
Alan Pardew's third new addition, Danny Butterfield will be Saints no.12.
A few players have also changed numbers.
Morgan Schneiderlin, no.19 last year, will be no.4 in the coming campiagn, replacing Jason Puncheon who has been handed no.10.
That was previously Paul Wotton's number but he will now be no.16.
With loanee Papa Waigo having returned to his parent club Fiorentina, Lee Barnard will be Saints' no.9 this campaign.
Jose Fonte, no.12 following his January arrival from Crystal Palace, has taken over Radhi Jaidi's no.6 shirt.
Jaidi will wear no.15 during 2010/11.
David Connolly, who agreed a new Saints contract this summer, is currently awaiting a squad number.
Saints boss Alan Pardew revealed after the friendly against Sutton last weekend that out-of-contract keeper Bartosz Bialkowski is close to agreeing a new deal at St Mary's.
That hasn't yet been finalised though the Polish stopper also hasn't yet been handed a number for the coming campaign.
Of the first eleven, numbers eight and 11 are currently vacant.
