Darren England will be the man in the middle at Pride Park Stadium on Saturday for Bolton Wanderers’ visit to take on Derby County, Kick-off: 3pm.


England has officiated 33 games so far this term, the majority coming in the Sky Bet Championship from which he has produced 95 yellow cards but is yet to show a straight red card.

It will be the third time this season that he will take charge of a game involving the Rams. The first came on December 23rd when Derby defeated Millwall 3-0 after David Nugent and Matej Vydra combined to score three goals in a five minute period.

The second came in January when Gary Rowett’s men drew 0-0 against Bristol City. In the previous two matches, both at Pride Park, three yellow cards were shown but just one of those was directed to a Derby player.

In total, Saturday’s referee has officiated three games involving the Rams during his career resulting in two wins and one draw.

England will be assisted by John Flynn and Mark Jones on the lines, whilst Darren Drysdale has been appointed as the fourth official.
