Ref Watch – Millers Away At Reading

Rotherham United travel to Reading on Saturday when we meet referee Matthew Donohue from Greater Manchester for the first time.

A teacher by trade Matt began his career as an official at the tender age of fourteen getting promoted to the EFL List of Assistants in 2014 operating there for two seasons before hanging up the flag and concentrating on refereeing in 2016. Matt got promotion to the National List of Referees prior to the 2018/19 season.

So far this season in the four games Matt has been in charge for he has shown ten yellow cards and one red.

He will be assisted by Mark Russell and Nigel Lugg with the flags while Mark Pottage will be the Fourth Official.
