Referee: Tony Harrington

Assistant Referees: Shaun Hudson and Philip Dermott

Fourth Official: Michael Salisbury

Tony Harrington will be the man in charge of our season opening trip to Birmingham City.

All nine of Harrington's Brentford games have been in the second tier, with four of the last five coming on the road. Included in those games were away wins at Burton Albion and Rotherham United.

The Cleveland official's only game last season was November's unforgettable 7-0 victory over Luton Town at Griffin Park, which saw us awarded two second-half penalties. He was pencilled in to be the official for our trip to Fulham in March but that game was postponed due to Covid-19.

In total, Harrington's nine Brentford games have ended with three wins, two draws, and four defeats.

Last term, Harrington has brandished 89 yellow cards and seven reds in 34 matches.
