Summer signing Mathew Ryan has been confirmed as Albion’s No1 for the season – at least in terms of squad numbers.

The Aussie takes over from Niki Maenpaa following his move from Valencia.

Maenpaa will wear No.12 in the coming campaign.

Previous Albion first choice keepers David Stockdale and Casper Ankergren respectively preferred 13 and 16 on their backs while Tomasz Kuszczak donned No.29.

Markus Suttner now takes the 29 he wore at Ingolstadt and which last season belonged at Albion to Richie Towell.

Latest addition Davy Propper, who wore No.6 at PSV, is 24 with the Seagulls while Izzy Brown takes the 37 he had last term at Huddersfield.

Pascal Gross, who was No.10 at Ingolstadt, has been in 13 this pre-season and that will continue into the campaign proper.
