Meet the officials | Southampton

24th December
First team

Keith Stroud will be the man in charge when Swansea City travel to Southampton on Boxing Day (3pm kick off).

The Hampshire-based official first took charge of a Football League fixture in August 2005 and has blown the whistle at a Swans game on 29 occasions; including League One and Championship play-off semi-finals.

This will be the first time the 53-year-old has taken charge of a Swans match this term, having most recently overseen the final match of the 2022-23 season, which Swansea won 3-2 against West Bromwich Albion.

So far this season, he has overseen 14 matches across the Championship and League Two. He has handed out 76 yellow card and one red.

On Boxing Day, he will be assisted by Lee Venamore and Greg Read. Josh Smith will be the fourth official.
