Rotherham United travel to take on Wycombe on Saturday when the referee will be Lee Swabey from Devon.

Lee came up through the ranks of refereeing starting in 2012 in the Blue Square Premier, joining the Football League Referees for the 2015/16 season.

The 2019/20 season saw Lee in charge of the Millers for the first time in their first home game of the season when Lincoln City were the visitors. The match ended two-nil to the visitors with an unfortunate own goal from Shaun MacDonald three minutes before half-time and a goal from Harry Anderson just after the start of the second half. MacDonald saw yellow in the game alongside his colleagues Matt Crooks, Kyle Vassell and Freddie Ladapo while former Miller Harry Toffolo and Joe Morrell were booked for the Imps.

Three months later he was in the middle for our away game at Gillingham where goals from Michael Smith on nineteen minutes and one in each half from Matt Crooks give the Millers a three-nil win. The only yellow of that game was for the Millers’ Jamie Lindsay.

In the twenty-four games he has had the whistle for this season Lee has shown fifty-seven yellow cards and two red cards.

Running the line on Saturday we have Michael Webb and Conor Farrell while the Fourth Official is Richard Morris.
