Fred Davis
Mid Sussex based referee Fred Davis has been forced to retire from contributory level refereeing due to a persistent foot injury. Fred has been battling against this recurring problem for around 12 months. Fred, a trained assessor has not given up hope of continuing refereeing at a more local level should his injury clear up. We also hope he'll be able to pursue his assessing role and support the development of other referees across the county.. We wish Fred all the best in his future.
