We're back in action on Boxing Day with a trip up to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough, the referee for the game will be West Midlands based official, Oliver Langford. 

Oliver Langford

 

Langford joined the National List of referees in the 2008/09 season. His first game, coming on the 16th August, it was a League Two affair at Spotland, Rochdale running out 2:1 winners over Barnet.

Since that first game, Langford has clocked up an impressive 513 games, issuing 1,419 yellow, 74 red cards and awarded 130 penalties.

 

Previous Latics Games

This will be Langford’s 14th Latics game, his last one came in March 2022 a 1:0 win over Wimbledon at the DW Stadium,

Oliver Langford has a previous Latics and Boro meeting under his belt, back in February 2020, a bit of horror show from Langford booking 6 Latics players, 4 Boro and sending off Chey Dunkley on 62 minutes.

 Part of the Select Group 2, Langford now mainly officiates in the Championship, of his 18 games so far this campaign, 14 have come in the Championship.
