Chris Kavanagh appeal
Chris Kavanagh is an English referee who was born in the city of Greater Manchester. This judge began his career from a very young age, specifically at 13 years old. In 2012 he received promotion to the National League.
He remained as the main player in that league for two years. Later in 2014, due to his good performance, he was called to call a commitment for English promotion, that is, he entered the national referee system.
He spent three years in the different categories of English football, until in April 2017 he received the promotion of the Select Group of Referees to be the main player in a Premier League match.
Since that moment, he has remained a judge in the First Division of England and, so far, he has not had any episode that tainted his career. At 38 years old he remains as one of the strongest in the England referee system.
But Kavanagh did not stop. In 2019 he received the FIFA patch, which is why he was eligible for international duels. To his credit he also has two refereed finals.
Their first final was the UEFA Youth League in the 2019/2020 campaign. The decisive match was between Benfica and Real Madrid. The Merengues took that game 2-3.
Then, he whistled the final for promotion to the Premier, in May 2021, between Brentford and Swansea City. This match was at Wembley and the Bees achieved promotion to the highest category of English football.
