Hunslet have announced squad numbers for the upcoming Betfred League One campaign.

Newly-appointed skipper Steve Crossley will wear the number 10 shirt, while joint vice-captains Michael Knowles and Jimmy Watson (the fullback will enjoy a richly deserved benefit in 2023) have been handed the number 13 and 1 jerseys respectively.

The Parksiders’ squad is:

2 Jack Render

3 Adam Ryder

4 Joe Burton

5 Kieron Lawton

6 Jake Sweeting

7 Nathan Conroy

8 Harvey Hallas

9 Sam Hallas

20 Tyler Walton

21 Morgan Punchard

Fullback or threequarter Nico Rizzelli, who signed for the Parksiders back in October, has been unable to take up his contract because of work commitments; Hunslet are actively seeking a replacement and, in addition, have a number of players on trial.
