Latics face Northampton Town at the DW Stadium on Saturday, Bedford based referee, Josh Smith will take charge of his first Wigan Athletic game, we seem to be hearing that quite a lot this season.
Josh Smith
The 27 year old is in second year on the National List, he’s ref’d the Cobblers on one occasion, their 0:2 home defeat to Peterborough in the Football League Trophy in September 2019.
Smith is a PE and Maths teacher by day and works at a school in Barnet.
Hailing from Bourne in Lincolnshire, Smith had a serious problem with a shoulder injury, which he had to have pinned to stop it from dislocating, he has overcome this and is now living his dream.
Smith says - “I’m thrilled to get on the Football League list so soon.
“I love the job
“When you start refereeing you automatically have an ambition to get to Football League level, but you don’t expect it to happen.”
