Leigh Doughty Man In the Middle

Leigh Doughty will be the man in the middle for Newport County AFC’s Sky Bet League Two fixture against Leyton Orient at Rodney Parade on Saturday.

The Lancashire-born official last oversaw a County fixture in the 2019/20 season, taking charge of the Exiles’ 1-0 home win against Crewe Alexandra in August 2019.

During the 2020/21 season, Doughty produced 81 yellows and 4 red cards across 25 games.

Doughty will be assisted by Jonathan Hunt and Craig Taylor while Scott Tallis will be the fourth official.
