The Latics are on the road again on Saturday, a trip to Sincil Bank to face Lincoln City in League One, the referee for the game is Surrey based official, Craig Hicks.

 

Craig Hicks

Hicks progressed from his lowly beginnings in the Epsom & Ewel Youth League, through to taking charge of the Surrey Senior Cup Final in 2016 and eventually into the Football League for the 2017/18 season, his first game being Port Vale 2:3 Wycombe Wanderers on the 12 August 2017.

 Previous Games

This will be the fourth Wigan Athletic game that Craig Hicks has been in charge of, the first two of those coming in our League One title winning campaign in 2021/22.

Away at Charlton back in August ‘21, Tendayi Darikwa and James McClean on the score sheet in a 0:2 win for the Latics, Jordan Jones picking up a yellow card in that game.

Portsmouth at the tail end of that particular run-in in late April 22 saw his second Latics game, despite going two goals up and having one hand on the Champions trophy we ended up conceding three times in the second half and had to wait a week to clinch pole position.

Both Ben Amos and Tendayi Darikwa picking up yellows down at Fratton Park.

Last season, Hicks took charge of our FA Cup 1st round win away at St. James’ Park against Exeter, Steven Sessegnon with an absolute screamer that day in a 0:2 victory.
