Meet The Ref - Latics v Sheffield Wednesday

 Latics are back at the DW Stadium on Tuesday when Sheffield Wednesday will be the visitors, West Riding referee, Sam Barrott will take charge of this game.

 

Sam Barrott

This is Barrott’s second season on the National List of referees having been promoted from the National League in 2019/20.

 

He’s taken charge of two game involving the Latics both coming last season, our Football League Trophy defeat 1:3 to Port Vale at the DW Stadium in October and our epic away win at Burton Albion in late December when a Kyle Joseph hat-trick and a Will Keane goal saw us take the three points in a pulsating game that finished 3:4. Barrott didn’t produce a single card in either game.

 

This will be the Yorkshireman’s first Sheffield Wednesday game.

 

Barrott became a referee due to an injury playing football for Halifax Town Youth Team, his injury left him unable to do contact sport for 9 months. His granddad advised him to take the referee’s course whilst he was out injured and the rest, as they say, is history.

 

He cites both Bobby and Andy Madley as his role models.

 

Last Game Barrott was due to take charge of the Hartlepool v Exeter game on Saturday but was pulled at the last minute, he refereed the one all draw between Lincoln and Rotherham on Tuesday, issuing 3 yellows (1-2).
