Each week we take a close look at the referee assigned to the Swans game and look at their previous record when officiating our beloved Swansea City.
This week’s referee spotlight focuses on Jarred Gillett, who was appointed the referee for the Swansea City v Manchester City EFL Cup Fourth Round game on Wednesday, 29 October 2025.
Referee Gillet was assisted by Adrian Holmes and Marc Perry, with Josh Smith the 4th Official for the game.
Name: Jarred Gillett
Born: November 1986
Birthplace: Australia
Background:
Australian born Gillet became the first foreign referee in English football when he took charge of the Sky Bet League One game between Fleetwood Town and Bristol Rovers last weekend.
Gillet was an A-League referee since 2010 and moved to the UK to study at Liverpool’s John Moore University.
The FIFA official is keen to continue as a referee and will join PGMOL’s (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) Select Group 2 for the start of the 2019/20 season.
Gillet made his EFL Championship debut in the Blackburn Rovers v Swans game in May 2019.
