Simon Hooper joined the National List of referees for the start of the 2008/09 season and made his debut in the Football League in a 1-0 win for Shrewsbury at Exeter on 16 August 2008.
Although this will be his first Lilywhite match, he took charge of the Saints 2-0 win at home to Hartlepool last season which saw Pool’s Sam Collins sent off after 50 minutes.
His last match was a 4-1 victory for AFC Wimbledon against Cheltenham on 17 September.
