Toner to referee his first Championship and Swans game

Blackburn official Ben Toner has been appointed the referee for the Championship game between Huddersfield Town and Swansea City on Saturday.

Toner will not only be taking charge of his very first Swans game, but also his very first EFL Championship game also, despite having been an EFL official since the 2014/2015 season.

The Lancashire official has been a referee for one Huddersfield Town fixture previously, the 1-0 defeat at Rochdale in the League Cup First Round in September 2020.

Referee Toner will be assisted by Graham Kane and Philip Dermott, with Jeremy Simpson the 4th Official for the game.
