Football NSW announce Referee Manager and Referee Coordinator

During 2012, Football NSW in consultation with the broader refereeing community conducted a review of the structure and administration of Referees in NSW. A key outcome of the review was to increase the investment Football NSW made in full-time resourcing of the Referee Department.
With this in mind, Football NSW appointed both Kris and Richard in continuing in the development of Referees in NSW.
Football NSW CEO Eddie Moore was looking forward to the progression of referee development under these key appointments.
“Football NSW is really looking forward to working with all members of the refereeing community in NSW to incorporate the recommendations of the review.
“We are excited about the appointment of someone of Kris’ experience to join Richard in delivering the quality programs to all levels of referees from grassroots, through branches and the elite competitions and establishing a clear pathway for all aspiring referees to reach their potential at the highest level.”
Kris began his Refereeing career in the Granville district, before developing his skills officiating in the Football NSW Premier and Super Leagues from 2004. He has also tested himself on the National stage, refereeing in the Hyundai A-League since 2008 and has officiated in well over 20 matches as well as taking out the NSW Premier League Referee Award in 2010 and 2012.
Aside from Refereeing, Kris has worked as an Account Manager for various organisations for more than 10 years and brings with him a sound administrative background to ensure the outcomes of the Referees Review are delivered across the state.
Kris will join Football NSW from Monday February 18.
Richard needs little introduction, with a distinguished domestic and international career as a Referee and Referee Assessor.
Richard moves from part-time to full-time employment with Football NSW, and his wealth of experience will provide the ideal support for Kris.
