The former Blue played 184 games in the number at Carlton, following in his famous father Vin's footsteps who donned the guernsey in 153 matches for the club.
The key forward takes over the No.30 after the departure of Tom Curran, who was delisted after a serious foot injury derailed his career.

Higgins, who wore No.7 for the bulk of his career at the Bulldogs, takes the number from the delisted Liam Anthony.
First-round draft selection (pick No.16) Sam Durdin has been handed No.24, while fellow draftees Daniel Nielson and Ed Vickers-Willis will wear No.26 and No.33 respectively next season.
New numbers:
4. Shaun Higgins
