Referee confirmed for Sheffield Wednesday's Yorkshire derby with Barnsley this weekend
Harrington, from Cleveland in the North East, has taken seven previous Sheffield Wednesday matches – all in the Championship – the most recent of which came as the Owls fell to a 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground in November last year.
He is yet to show a red card in any match involving Wednesday, but has given two penalties against them – for Preston North End’s only goal in a 1-0 defeat at Deepdale in 2017 and for Bristol City’s fourth in a 4-0 defeat at Bristol City’s Ashton Gate last year.
