Meet The Ref - Latics v Port Vale

Latics face Port Vale at the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday, in a League One fixture, scheduled to take charge of the game is Gloucester based referee, Ross Martin.

Ross Martin, made the step up from the National League to the National List and reefing in the EFL this season, another inexperienced official for the Latics to endure, this will be Martin’s first time at League One level with just four League Two games under his belt this season.

Following a comedy of errors from match officials so far this campaign, hopefully Mr Martin can buck the trend and put in a consistent performance.
