Premier League referee Mike Dean to quit at the end of the season

No more accidental celebrations.

Premier League eferee Mike Dean is set to retire at the end of the season after 22 seasons in the top-flight, as reported by the Telegraph. The 53-year-old - who was appointed as a Select Group referee in 2000 - has officiated several high-profile matches during his career, including the FA Community Shield and the finals of the FA Cup and Football League Cup. Dean has been at the centre of a number of controversial incidents during his time as a referee, one of which saw Arsenal supporters launch a petition to prevent him from refereeing their team following a Premier League fixture against Chelsea in 2015 - which gathered nearly 100,00 signatures in a week. During his career, he has issued over 100 red cards and became the first official to do so in Premier League history.
