Gavin Ward has experience in the EFL, as well as the Premier League and in International football.
Ward was appointed to the Select Group 2 list of referees ahead of the 2018/19 season following more than ten years as an EFL referee in League One and League Two.
Having made his debut in August 2007 when Hereford United beat Barnet 2-1 at Underhill, he went on to take charge of the 2017/18 EFL Trophy Final between Shrewsbury Town and Lincoln City, as well as being the Fourth Official for the FA Vase Final in 2011.
So far this season, 24 of his 28 games have been in the Championship, the other four have all come in League 1, including our 0:2 away win at Plymouth on the 9th March.
Latics’ related facts:
We have never won or scored in a home game which Gavin Ward has refereed, Tuesday could be 3rd time lucky.
Gavin has ref’d the Latics against Norwich at Carrow Road twice, both games finished 1-0, a win apiece.
In the home game against Derby County in December 2018, Ward sent Kal Naismith off after 15 minutes for a professional foul on the diving little shit Harry Wilson.
He refereed the last game that Latics fans had the opportunity to attend, our goalless draw with Luton on the 7th March last year. That feels almost a life-time back.
