BORO'S SQUAD NUMBERS FOR NEXT SEASON

Summer signing Marvin Emnes, pictured below, will wear the number 11 shirt in his first season at the Riverside, while fellow new boy Didier Digard, pictured below Emnes, has been handed the number 8 shirt.

Digard's shirt had been vacant since Jonathan Woodgate's move to Tottenham last January, while Emnes takes over a shirt vacated by Jeremie Aliadiere, who takes over the number 10 shirt previously worn by Fabio Rochemback.

Other changes see Andrew Taylor switch from 33 to the traditional shirt for a left-back, number 3 - vacated by Julio Arca's switch to number 20.

All other squad number remain unchanged.

With Mark Schwarzer having moved to Fulham over the summer, Gareth Southgate has not named a number 1 in the squad, having stated that Ross Turnbull and Brad Jones will challenge to be first choice goalkeeper. They remain squad numbers 21 and 22 respectively.

Boro fans can order any name and number on a home or away shirt for just £15, a service that is available at the MFC Retail stores and in the club's online store at mfc.co.uk.

The new away kit is available to 2008-09 season card holders only on Thursday and Friday, with general sale starting on Saturday. The MFC Retail stores are open 9am-9pm Thursday, 9.30am-5pm Friday and Saturday, and 10am-3pm Sunday.
