Carl Berry will take charge of his second League One fixture on Saturday when Dale travel to St James’ Park to take on Exeter.

The Surrey-based official is in his first season on the league list and his only previous game in this tier was Yeovil v Carlisle last weekend.

His other five matches this term have been in League Two and the JPT, with his debut coming at Southend v Hereford on the season’s opening day.

However, Carl did referee two League Two games last season as part of an experiment to test out officials ahead of prospective promotions.

His six outings this season have yielded 23 yellow cards and two red, including one in each of his last two matches.
