Manchester FA Referee Matt Donohue has been promoted to the National List of Referees for the 2018/19 season.

Since moving to Manchester some 10 years ago, Matt has become a very popular figure amongst his colleagues and has seen his efforts rewarded with an invitation to join the top referees in the country operating in the English Football League (EFL).

In recent seasons, ‘Donners’ has gone from strength to strength with three successive promotions. Spending just one season at Level 2B (National League North) and another at Level 2A (National League) he has shown just how much he has developed his skills in the lead up to this latest promotion.

When asked about what has helped things move so quickly for him, Matt replied: "Sheer hard work! It sounds a bit cliché but I have had to develop a ‘growth mindset’ which means not only training hard physically but also analysing my own performances to improve."
