The currently appointed referee for Coventry City’s League One game at Peterborough on Friday is Chris Sarginson from Staffordshire.

Chris took up refereeing seventeen years ago after he had played and been a secretary of a Sunday League club. He was appointed to the Select Group of Assistant Referees in 2005 and was appointed to the National List of Referees in 2008.
