Hi, I'm Matt. I've actually been a member on here for over a year, just never quite got round to doing this!
Played football as a kid, lost interest in it when i was about 15. Got back into it a few years, played a season of Open Age but turned to refereeing as I was getting injured all the time (I work as a martial arts instructor and it was affecting my job) and because it's something that has always interested me. I'm in my second full season of refereeing now (am doing 7-6 this season), and absolutely loving it.
