Meet The Ref - Exeter City v Latics


Latics are on the road again on Tuesday, down to St James’ Park for a League One encounter with Exeter City, the referee for the game will be Hertfordshire official, David Rock. 


Rock is in his sixth season as a National List official, taking charge of his first game on August 10th 2019 at Vale Park, Port Vale and Northampton drawing 1:1 in a League Two encounter.

Previous Games

David Rock has refereed the Latics five times previously, two away days and three times at the DW Stadium, three of those games came in 2021, but spread across two separate seasons, the fourth was our 2:0 home win over Oxford in October 2023, booking Baba Adeeko, Liam Shaw and Callum Lang.

The last time Rock was in charge of a Latics game was February 2024, a 1:1 home draw against Cheltenham, Luke Chambers on the score sheet for the Latics and Cal McManaman finding his way into the referee's book.

Rock was last in charge of an Exeter game earlier this season, their 0:2 League One away win at Shrewsbury back in October.

Away from football, Rock works as a PE Training and Development officer for a sports education company.
