PGMOL promote EFL referees Tim Robinson and Darren Bond to officiate in the Premier League next season after impressing in their six top-flight matches in 2022-23

The Premier League has filled the vacant referring position left by Andre Marriner by promoting two new officials from the Football League.

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) announced on Wednesday that Tim Robinson and Darren Bond will take charge in the top-flight following their promotion to Select Group 1.

The pair had primarily been officiating in the Championship with each taking charge of 29 games in the division last season, though both have made their respective debuts in the Premier League.

Robinson's first taste of a Premier League action came in Burnley's 1-0 win against Newcastle in December 2019, while Bond made his debut in Leicester City's 1-0 home loss to Fulham last January.
