Meet The Ref - Shrewsbury Town v Latics

Latics are heading down the A49 on Good Friday to tackle Shrewsbury Town at the New Meadow, the referee for the game is scheduled to 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 81 games, issued 373 yellow cards, 10 reds and awarded 17 penalties.

Previous Games

Tom Parsons has two Latics game under his belt, earlier this campaign he was in charge of the reverse fixture, two goals to the good with 20 minutes left, we contrived to hand a share of the spoils to the Shrews, a Will Aimson own goal and an 87th minute equaliser saw victory snatched away, Baba Adeeko, Matt Smith and Dale Taylor all ending up in Tom Parson’s book.

Boxing Day 2023 was the other occasion that Parson’s ref’d the Latics, our 0:1 home defeat to Derby County, four Latics players found their way into the book that day, Liam Morrison, Baba Adeeko again, Sean Clare and Callum Lang.

Parsons has refereed Shrewsbury thrice previously, that game with us back in December and twice at The Meadow, a 1:1 draw against Barnsley in February 2024, awarding the Tykes a 92 minute penalty to deny Salop taking all the points, and a 3:2 win over Port Vale in February 2023.
