Referee Darren England, 35 year-old, has been running the line in the Premier League for several seasons after working his way up from amateur football in Barnsley. He commenced refereeing in the Conference League in March 2014 and moved up into the Football League in August 2015.
He refed his first Championship game in March 2017 and this season is now a regular in the Championship. He joined the Select Group 2 of full-time referees in the summer.
Mr England last refed Fulham earlier this season in October 2020 when we lost
1-0 away at Wolves. He booked one player from each team, the Fulham man was Maxime Le Marchand for a foul in the 79th minute.
Prior to the Wolves game Mr England had only refed Fulham once before and that was in October 2017 when we drew 2-2 at home with Prest0n. The Ref booked five players only one from Fulham, Tom Cairney for a foul.
He last refed Southampton in November this season in their 3-4 away win at Aston Villa and he yellow carded three players including Ward-Prowse and Diallo of Southampton
Last season he refed 35 games and issued 94 yellows, an average of 2.8 cards a game and 3 red. This season so far Ref England has refed 9 games dishing out 28 yellows, an average 3.1 cards a game, and 1 red.
His busiest game recently was the League One Play-Off between Oxford and Portsmouth with 7 yellows. Five of the yellows went to the home side Oxford.
