Meet the officials | Sheffield United
31st March
First team
Dean Whitestone will be the referee when Swansea City travel to face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane this Friday (3pm).
The Northamptonshire official will take charge of a Swans fixture for the second time this season, having had the whistle for three of our games last term.
Whitestone has no shortage of experience, he has taken charge of over 550 professional matches, and has been refereeing for long enough to have had the whistle for a Swansea game during the club’s previous stint in the Championship.
So far this term he has taken charge of 22 games, handing out 71 yellow cards and two red cards.
On Saturday Whitestone will be assisted by Sam Lewis and John Bickerdike, while Thomas Kirk is the fourth official.
