Gavin Ward has been appointed as the Match Referee for Derby County's Sky Bet Championship fixture at home to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday (12pm kick-off).


Ward has overseen 13 games so far this season in all competitions, showing 54 yellow cards and two reds in the process.

He took charge of the Rams' 2-0 loss at Birmingham City earlier this season, where he booked Graeme Shinnie, Ravel Morrison and Tom Lawrence.

Ward will be assisted by Steven Meredith and Bhupinder Gill on the lines, whilst Stephen Martin has been appointed as the fourth official.
