The currently appointed referee for Coventry City's League One game against Swindon Town on Friday afternoon is Chris Sarginson from Staffordshire.

He was appointed to the Select Group of Assistant Referees in 2005 and was appointed to the National List of Referees in 2008. He cites the Sunderland v Newcastle game in 2005 as the best game he has officiated at due to the atmosphere.
