Lynch, Russell given old AFL numbers

Collingwood recruits Quinten Lynch and Jordan Russell will wear the same numbers with the Magpies in 2013 as they did with their previous AFL clubs.

The Magpies have given former West Coast forward Lynch the No.21 jumper vacated by Sharrod Wellingham, who has been traded to the Eagles.

And ex-Blue Russell has been handed the opportunity to wear No.2 following the retirement of Chris Tarrant.

Former Hawk Clinton Young will wear No.14 for Collingwood.

Luke Rounds, who wore No.14, has been de-listed by the Magpies.

The younger players at Collingwood are due to start pre-season training on November 21 with the rest to resume a week later, the afl.com.au website says.

Collingwood’s players will travel to the United States for a high-altitude training camp on December 4 in Utah.
