Latics are back at the Brick on Saturday, fellow bottom four club, Barnsley are in town for a League One fixture, the referee for the game is scheduled to be Berkshire official, Steve Parkinson.  |
Steve Parkinson started refereeing in the Bracknell Sunday League as a 16 year old and worked his way up through the ranks of the local leagues, the Welsh Leagues and onto the National League by 2023, making his debut in the EFL in January 2024 with the Crewe v Salford game at Gresty Rd.
Previous Games
Last season Parkinson took charge of 26 EFL games, including our 6:1 defeat away at Peterborough which saw the end of Ryan Lowe’s tenure as Latics boss.
That game was Steve Parkinson’s third time in charge of a Latics match last season, he also took charge of the home League One encounter with Peterborough United in August 2025, we won that comfortably enough with Chris Saydee and Jason Kerr on the score sheet in a 2:0 win, Ryan Trevitt picking up a yellow card.
Exeter away in November was the other of Parky’s Latics’ games, that ended all square, one apiece with Callum Wright on the scoresheet, Matt Smith ended up in the notebook and we had a Chris Saydee goal very dubiously disallowed for handball.
This will be the first time that Steve Parkinson has taken charge of a Barnsley game.
