The Swans opening EFL Championship game of the season against Birmingham City on Saturday will be officiated by Isle of Wight official James Linington.
Referee Linington will be assisted by Andrew Fox and Greg Read, with James Bell the 4th Official for the game at the Swansea.com stadium at 3pm .
James Linington’s record when officiating Swansea City home games isn’t too bad, with the Swans recording 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats in the 9 home games he has been the man in the middle.
The last Swansea game that Linington officiated, was the 2-1 defeat at Reading back in December 2022.
The Swans home game he officiated was the 3-0 win over Cardiff City back in October 2021. A similar result on Saturday would make a great start to Michael Duff’s managerial career in south Wales.
