Meet The Ref - Burton Albion v Latics

As the League One season is reaching its climax, the Latics travel down to the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday to face Burton Albion as we look to secure an automatic promotion spot, in charge of the game will be Staffordshire referee, Ollie Yates. 

 

Ollie Yates

Yates broke on to the National List of referees back in 2016, his first game coming in the League Two meeting between Yeovil Town and Notts County on the 6th August, in the following six seasons he has taken charge of 144 games, none above League 1 level.

 

Ollie Yates has had two Latics games previously, his first one was our 1:0 defeat away at Charlton last season where he cautioned seven players, four from the Latics and our 0:2 away win at Wimbledon this season when he booked 3 Latics players and none from Wimbledon.

 

Yates has refereed Burton five times previously, one of which came this season, the Brewers 1-1 draw away at Sunderland back in February.

 

Of Ollie Yates’ 26 games so far this season, 11 have come in League One, 11 in League Two, 3 in the EFL Trophy, 2 in the FA Cup and 1 in the EFL Cup.

 

Last Game

Ollie Yates’ last game in charge was the League One fixture between Cheltenham and Portsmouth at Whaddon Road on Saturday 9th April, Cheltenham won 1:0 and Yates issued just the one yellow.
