Meet the officials | Stoke City
13th February
First team
Dean Whitestone will be the man in the middle when Swansea City visit Stoke City on Saturday (3pm).
The Northamptonshire official will take charge of a Swans fixture for the third time this season, having last overseen the defeat to Sheffield United in which he sent off Harry Darling.
Whitestone has no shortage of experience, and has been refereeing for long enough to have had the whistle for a Swansea game during the club’s previous stint in the Championship.
So far this term he has taken charge of 21 games, handing out 71 yellow cards and one red card.
Whitestone will be assisted by Daniel Leach and George Byrne, while Alex Chilowicz is the fourth official.
