Meet the officials | Rotherham United

25th February
First team

Gavin Ward will be the man in the middle when Swansea City host Rotherham United at the Swansea.com Stadium on Monday (8pm).

It will be the Surrey-based official's third visit to SA1 this season, having already taken charge of the draw against Millwall and the win over Sunderland.

Ward took charge of his first EFL match in 2007 - a League Two encounter between Barnet and Hereford – and, after 10 years working primarily in the lower leagues, he was added to Select Group 2 ahead of the 2018-19 season.

Saturday will be the 14th time Ward has overseen a Swans match since first blowing the whistle in SA1 in February 2010.

So far this term, Ward has taken charge of 29 matches – mostly in the Championship – handing out 99 yellow cards and two reds.

He will be assisted by Robert Hyde and Andrew Fox, while Keith Stroud will be the fourth official.
