Meet the officials | Southampton

Oliver Langford will be the referee when Swansea City host Southampton at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday (12.30pm).

It will be the second time the official from the west Midlands has travelled to SA1 this season, having previously taken charge of the home match against Bristol City in September.

On that occasion, he handed out five yellow cards with Kyle Naughton, Jamie Paterson, and Josh Ginnelly booked for the Swans. In total this season he has overseen 20 games, handing out 65 yellow cards and five reds.

Having been refereeing since 1995, Langford was promoted to the List of Referees in 2008. When Select Group 2 was introduced by PGMOL ahead of the 2016-17 season, he was one of 18 referees added to that list.

He has taken charge of two play-off semi-finals and the 2017 FA Youth Cup final. Despite not being named a Select Group Official, he is VAR trained and can be part of the officiating team at the top level.

On Saturday, like on his previous visit to the Swansea.com Stadium, he will be assisted by Hristo Karaivanov and Graham Kane. Sam Allison will be the fourth official.
