Liverpool referee AARON JACKSON is the man in the middle for Dale’s game at Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.

In his fifth season as a National League official, this will be the second time we have seen Mr Jackson this term as he was the referee for our 2-2 home draw with Bromley in August.

Aaron also officiates in Premier League 2, while he has refereed three matches in this season’s EFL Trophy, as well as Stockport v Worksop in the first round of the FA Cup.

His 12 games in the National League, FA Cup and EFL Trophy have seen Mr Jackson show 37 yellow cards and seven reds, one of them to Dale’s Adam Clayton in the Bromley match.
