Meet The Ref - Latics v Notts County


Latics are back in action on Tuesday evening with a Carabao Cup tie against Notts County at the Brick Community Stadium, the referee for the game is scheduled to be Staffordshire official, Oliver Yates.


Ollie Yates made it on to the National List of referees back in 2016, his first game coming in the League 2 meeting between Yeovil Town and Notts County on the 6th August, since making his debut he has taken charge of over 250 games.

Previous Games

Yates has been in charge of five Latics games previously, the last of which was our 1:2 home defeat to Reading last season.

He has also refereed us away at Donny in the EFL Trophy back in 2024, a 1:1 draw on the night but going out the competition in a penalty shoot out.

The other three all came in League One, two away, Charlton and Wimbledon in the administration season and on the 7th November 2023 Yates was at the DW Stadium for our 2:1 win over highflying Peterborough, Sessegnon, Lang and Godo picking up yellows in that game.
