Stats

Jarred Gillett, from the Gold Coast in Australia, moved from his homeland’s A League to join the EFL list towards the end of the 2018/19 season. He was given a game in each of League Two, One and the Championship to start with, making a Championship debut at Blackburn 2-2 Swansea. The eight cards he showed at Fleetwood 0-0 Bristol Rovers was in keeping with prolific form in Australia over the previous season — he’d already booked 66 (3.88) and sent four off in the 17 games he’d done at home that year. In 2017/18 he booked 85 (4.04) and sent four off in 21 and the year before he booked a whopping 96 (5.64) and sent seven off in just 17 matches.

The 2019/20 campaign was his first full on in England and he booked 95 (3.27) and sent two off in 29 outings with a couple of eight-card hauls the most in a single game. There were six yellows and a last minute winner for the visitors in his only Millwall game to date as they lost 2-1 at home to Barnsley. He’s already done 12 matches in 2020/21, with 40 yellows and two reds. Ten of those 12 games have been in the Championship and, with much longer VAR experience than any referee on our list currently, he’s clearly being eyed up for a speedy elevation into the Prem.
