English trio added to FIFA list

Three of England's promising officials have been added to the 2010 list of FIFA international referees.

Referee Lee Probert and assistant referees Jake Collin and Steve Child join the other England based officials.

Probert took charge of his first Premier League game between Sheffield United and Portsmouth back in 2007 and since then has officiated in a number of high profile games.

He refereed this seasons' South Wales derby between Cardiff City and Swansea City. He was also fourth official to Howard Webb in the 2007 Carling Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea.

Probert joins fellow colleagues: Marin Atkinson, Stuart Attwell, Mark Clattenburg, Mike Dean, Andre Marriner and Howard Webb, to make up the list for 2010.

Collin and Child have a wealth of Premier League experience between them and they join colleagues: Darren Cann, Dave Richardson, Jeremy Simpson, Mike Mullarkey, Mo Matadar, Peter Kirkup, Richard West and Simon Beck, to make up the 2010 list of assistant referees.

Now all three will be looking for their first international appointments, and will be hoping to get a game in February's international break.
