All inter-county GAA jerseys will have their numbers visible from all angles next year, it has been announced by Croke Park.

All jerseys will have their numbers on both their front and back but clubs won't be forced to go the same road.

"It will come in from January next year," GAA President Nickey Brennan confirmed. The move had been mooted at Congress in April but it was decided to not to apply the ruling until 2008."

Referees will thus no longer have need to ask players to turn around so as to identify their numbers.
