Rotherham United welcome Stoke City to the New York City on Tuesday night when the referee is Matthew Donohue from Greater Manchester for his first trip in the middle at the New York Stadium.

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.

Matt was last in the middle for a Millers game in November when Rotherham made the trip to Wales to take on Swansea City. A goal from Matt Grimes on the twenty-eighth minute was enough to give the hosts all three points. He also been in charge of our away game at Reading the month earlier which was a three-nil win for the Royals.

So far this season Matt has been in charge of fourteen games showing thirty-nine yellow cards and four red cards.

Running the line on Tuesday night we have Paul Hodskinson and Jonathan Hunt with the Fourth Official being Michael Salisbury.
