Premier League referee Bobby Madley has quit English
football at the age of just 32.
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) announced on Thursday that Madley had left his job as a Premier League official.
Madley, who was one of the 18 full-time professional referees, has officiated 91 matches in the Premier League since 2013 but was not involved during the first weekend of this season.
A PGMOL statement said: "Bobby Madley is no longer employed by PGMOL.
"We understand that he has decided to relocate due to a change in his personal circumstances."
Madley refereed the 2017 Community Shield at Wembley before overseeing 18 Premier League matches last season.
He was not involved in the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
