Meet the officials | Watford

Tom Nield will be in charge when Swansea City travel to Watford on Wednesday evening (7.45pm kick-off).

The match will mark the third time the official from Wakefield has overseen a Swans match this season, having taken charge of the FA Cup match against Morecambe in January, and the home league win over Norwich City.

Nield works mostly in League One and Two, but has been handed eight Championship fixtures this term.

The Yorkshireman was initially added to the National List of Referees in 2018, and may well have progressed to Select Group 2 by this stage had he not had to lessen his PGMOL appointments during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to work additional hours in his other job as an NHS nurse with the Mid-Yorkshire Hospital NHS Trust.

Saturday will mark his 20th match of the 2023-24 campaign. He has so far handed out 76 yellow cards and one red.

Nield will be assisted by Mark Stevens and Carl Fitch-Jackson. James Linington will be the fourth official.
