Referee Kevin Friend started refereeing at the age of 14 in his home county of Leicestershire.
He was promoted to the National List of Referees in 2003, and later to the Select Group of Referees ahead of the 2009-10 season. His first Premier League fixture was in September 2009:
a 2-1 victory for Wolves over Fulham.
Ref Friend last reffed Fulham in September 2015 in the
4-0 home defeat of QPR. He last reffed a Charlton match back in May
2014 when Charlton won 3-0 away tp Blackpool.
Last Season Ref Friend reffed 35 games dishing out 141 yellows, an above average 4.0 cards a game,
but dished out a below average 5 reds.
This season he has reffed 21 games so far showing his yellow card 65 times, an
average of 3.1 cards per game, and and 4 red.

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic is expected to make changes to his team when they host Charlton in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday.
They lost 3-0 at Blackburn on Tuesday, having previously won 3-1 at QPR, but Chris Baird has since rejoined the club on loan from Derby and is likely to start.
Dan Burn remains a doubt, owing to a hamstring injury, but could yet feature.
Jokanovic is, however, definitely without Cauley Woodrow, because of a broken metatarsal, and Lasse Christensen, who injured a hamstring at Blackburn.

Igor Vetokele and Jordan Cousins face late fitness tests before Charlton manager Jose Riga decides whether to include them in his squad.
Vetokele missed last weekend's draw against Cardiff with a hamstring injury and Cousins was taken off after 73 minutes with a knock.
Johnnie Jackson also went off injured against the Bluebirds and Riga said he will be out for "around two weeks".
New signings Marco Motta and Yun Suk-young are nearing first-team fitness and Riga is hopeful Alou Diarra (foot) and Patrick Bauer (groin) will be available in the next few weeks.
