Harrington To Take Charge Of Preston Clash

Tony Harrington will be the man in the middle when Derby County travel to Preston North End to complete a busy Easter on Monday at Deepdale, kick-off: 12:45.

Harrington has officiated 30 games so far this term, the majority coming in the Sky Bet Championship, from which he has produced 104 yellow card and four red cards.

It will be the third time this season that he will be in charge of a match involving the Rams. The first was on Boxing Day when Derby’s trip to Hull ended in a goalless draw.

The second came at the end of February when Gary Rowett’s men drew 3-3 with Reading in a game that saw Chris Baird sent off late in the final minutes following a challenge on Mo Barrow.

In total, Monday’s referee has officiated seven games involving the Rams during his career resulting in three wins, three draws and just one defeat.

Harrington will be assisted by Mark Dwyer and Mark Russell on the lines, whilst Jeremy Simpson has been appointed as the fourth official.
