We can today announce our first team squad numbers ahead of the club’s first season back in the Football League.
Paul Cox’s men were crowned as champions of non-league in April, following a five year absence from the elite 72.
The Stags' chief has assembled a squad of 24 players, seven of whom are new signings.

“I asked the players to pick a number and the numbers which were duplicated we flipped a coin for it," said manager Cox, "Whether you’re number one or number 50, you will have to work to get in this team and stay in this team. The players understand that. It doesn’t matter what number they will have on their back, it’s about performances and consistency.”
