Mark Clattenburg to officiate in Premier League
Tuesday 11 April 2017 23:20, UK
Mark Clattenburg will officiate in the Premier League this weekend, having returned from his new role in Saudi Arabia.
The 41-year-old's departure from England's top flight was announced two months ago when it was revealed he would take up a role with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.
But Clattenburg is presently working a three-month notice period with the Premier League and will take charge at Goodison Park when Everton host Burnley, in what will be his first game back in charge since leaving the country.
Hailed as one of the world's leading referees, Clattenburg officiated the FA Cup final, Champions League final and Euro 2016 final last year. His last Premier League match was Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Hull in February.
The Englishman also took charge of the 2012 Olympic final in London, the 2012 League Cup final and the UEFA Super Cup in 2014.
In March, Clattenburg refereed his first game in Saudi Arabia, officiating the prestigious Crown Prince Cup Final in Riyadh's 70,000-seated King Fahd International Stadium.
