Man in the middle | Darren Bond

29th August
First team

Darren Bond will be the man in the middle when Swansea City travel to face Leeds United on Saturday.

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 refereed the Swans on just one previous occasion, overseeing last season’s home defeat to eventual Championship winners Norwich.

Bond will be assisted by James Mainwaring and Nick Greenhalgh, while Martin Coy is the fourth official.
