Meet The Ref - Latics v Shrewsbury Town

Latics are back at the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday, hoping to build on last weekend’s result as we face Shrewsbury Town, the referee for the game will be Rochdale official, Tom Parsons. 

The 32 year old was promoted to the National List for the start of the 2022/23 season, since then he has taken charge of 67 games, issued 309 yellow cards, 11 reds and awarded 10 penalties.

Previous Games

Tom Parsons has one Latics game under his belt, Boxing Day last season, our 0:1 home defeat to Derby County, four Latics players found their way into the book that day, Liam Morrison, Baba Adeeko, Sean Clare and Callum Lang.

Parsons has refereed Shrewsbury twice previously, both at The Meadow, a 1:1 draw against Barnsley being the latest in February this year, awarding the Tykes a 92 minute penalty to deny the Salop taking all the points.
