Wilshire FA official referee Simon Hooper, 33 year old, began his Football League career as an assistant referee in 2006/07. At the same time he was a referee in non-league football. Hooper was promoted to a Football League referee the following season.
Mr Hooper last reffed a Fulham game in September 2015 when we lost 3-2 away at Sheff Wed in the Championship and he booked O'Hara and Burn. He reffed three of our games last season two away wins and a 4-1 home defeat by Brentford.
Rotherham last had the pleasure of Ref Hooper's company back in September 2014 when they beat Blackburn 2-0.
Last season he refed 40 games and dished out 131 yellows, 3.3 yellows per game, and 4 reds. This season so far he has refed
25 games waving 60 yellows, 2.4 yellows per game, and 2 reds.

Fulham have confirmed that former Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic is their new head coach ahead of Tuesday night's clash against Rotherham.
Stuart Gray oversaw a 2-0 defeat at Derby on Boxing Day which made it no wins in nine for the Cottagers and there could be changes against the Millers.
Matt Smith, Tom Cairney and Ben Pringle, against his former club, are all pushing for starts.

Rotherham will again be without Leon Best as they are reassessing how to manage his groin injury which has restricted him to just 73 minutes in a Millers shirt.
Stephen Kelly (calf) should be fit, though, and he is likely to go straight into the side at right-back instead of Frazer Richardson.
Lewis Buxton will not play as he was left out of Saturday's 4-0 win over Bolton over "contractual issues".
