Meet The Ref - Latics v AFC Wimbledon

 The final home game of the season is upon us, relegation threatened AFC Wimbledon visit the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday to face Gary Caldwell’s charges in a League One fixture, the referee is scheduled to be Chesterfield born official, Matt Corlett.



34-year-old Matt Corlett is in his third season in the EFL following promotion to the National List of refs in August 2023.

Previous Games

In his relatively short career so far, Corlett has refereed just the one Latics’ game previously, our incident packed visit to Edgely Park back in February, a game that saw the Latics take the lead twice through Joe Taylor goals, receive two red cards, Steven Sessegnon and Maleace Asamoah, and subsequently lose the game 4:2, Stockport scoring an offside opener and a late, late winner courtesy of a Kyle Wooton handball.

Matt Corlett’s latest Wimbledon game came in October this season, a very creditable 1:2 away win at Home Park against Plymouth Argyle in a League One fixture, the Dons picking up three yellows in that match.
