Man in the middle: Darren Bond

19th November
First team

Darren Bond will be the man in the middle when Swansea City face Norwich City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday (3pm).

Lancashire official Bond has been refereeing in the Football League since 2012-13, and took charge of his first Championship fixture in February 2013.

He has never previously taken charge of a Swans game.

Bond has refereed Norwich twice already this season, in their win at QPR and the loss at Sheffield United back in August.

He will be assisted this weekend by Mark Jones and Andrew Fox, while Robert Lewis will be the fourth official.
