Stephen Martin to take charge as we host Swansea City

Referee: Stephen Martin

Assistant Referees: Adam Crysell and Carl Fitch-Jackson

Fourth Official: Keith Stroud

This is Stephen Martin’s ninth season as a referee in the EFL and fifth as a member of the Select Group Two of Sky Bet Championship match officials.

The Staffordshire official, whose father and grandfather were both officials in the Football League, first took charge of us in April 2013 as we lost 2-0 to MK Dons at Stadium:MK. Following three straight home victories, five of Martin's last six Brentford assignments have been with us as the away team.

Martin, who, as part of the PGMOL exchange programme, refereed three J-League games in 2013, took charge of us twice last campaign. He was the man in the middle for our 1-0 victory on the road at Middlesbrough and our 1-1 draw at Birmingham City, showing four yellow cards during the course of those two games.

In total, we have won four and lost four of the ten games under him.

So far this term, Martin has taken charge of six games, showing 12 yellow cards.

Swansea City 2020/21

104 fouls – 18th in Sky Bet Championship

13 yellow cards – 9th in Sky Bet Championship

0 red cards – Joint Fewest in Sky Bet Championship
