Matthew Donohue will be the official in charge of the Swans Championship fixture against Birmingham City this weekend.
The Lancashire based referee will be assisted by Paul Hodskinson and Bhupinder Singh Gill, with David Webb the fourth official for the game at St. Andrew’s.
This will be the third time that Donohue has officiated a Swansea City match this season, but it will be his first Swans away assignment of the campaign.
Donohue was the man in the middle for the Swans recent home defeat against Middlesbrough and the Carabao Cup Second Round defeat against AFC Bournemouth last August.
Overall Matthew Donohue’s record for Swansea City games makes for mixed reading, with this being his 4th Swans away game of his career to date.
