Ref Watch: Bond The Match Referee For Derby's Trip To Cardiff

The EFL have confirmed that Darren Bond will be the man in the middle when Derby County travel to Cardiff City on Tuesday evening in their latest behind-closed-doors fixture in the Sky Bet Championship (7:45pm kick-off).

Bond has overseen 32 games during the 2019/20 season and produced a total of 110 yellow cards and two reds.

His last match in charge of Derby was back in February as the Rams drew 1-1 with Fulham at Pride Park Stadium, with skipper Wayne Rooney on target from the penalty spot.

He also took charge of the Rams' 2-0 home win over Middlesbrough in November, with Tom Lawrence scoring both goals for Phillip Cocu's side against ten-man Boro after George Saville was sent off for a late challenge on Krystian Bielik in the first half.

Bond will be assisted by Mark Russell and Mark Pottage on the lines, whilst Lee Swabey has been appointed as the fourth official.
