Meet the officials | Wrexham

First team
Tom Nield referee

Tom Nield will be the man in the middle when Swansea City face Wrexham on Friday night (8pm kick-off).

He has taken charge of two Swansea fixtures previously this season; the 3-2 defeat at West Bromwich Albion in November and the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in January.

Nield, who is also a qualified nurse, was added to the National List of Referees in April 2018 but less than two years later, Nield requested to lessen his PGMOL appointments in order to work additional hours on the front line in the acute and emergency service at the Mid-Yorkshire Hospital's NHS Trust as the country dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic.

“While the Championship and Premier League returned to complete the 2020-21 season behind closed doors, League One and League Two voted to curtail their seasons and so Nield was able to focus fully on his head of nursing role.

So far this season, he has overseen 22 fixtures handing out 76 yellow cards and one red.

On Friday, he will be assisted by Andrew Dallison and George Byrne. Edward Duckworth will be the fourth official.
