Tom Reeves will be the man in the middle for Bristol Rovers' trip to Barrow AFC in Sky Bet League Two.
The referee has officiated seven of the Gas' fixtures, with his first coming in the 2021/22 season, where the Pirates drew 2-2 with Tranmere Rovers in Sky Bet League Two. His previous outing in a Rovers fixture came last season, with the Pirates beating Huddersfield Town 1-0.
In comparison, Reeves has refereed nine Barrow fixtures. His history with the Bluebirds goes back to the 2018/19 campaign, where he officiated two of their matches in the National League. Nevertheless, it has been a while since his last Barrow match, which was a 1-0 victory for the Bluebirds over Milton Keynes Dons in February 2024.
Reeves has refereed 244 matches in his professional career, with 29 coming in the 2025/26 campaign. Officiating matches from the Sky Bet Championship down to the National League, his previous game in any competition came in Sky Bet League One, where Lincoln City beat Cardiff City 2-0.
Assistant Referees Thomas Cooke and Bradley Hall, and Fourth Official Simon Mather will join Reeves.
