Jackett had previously managed Wolves but was sacked just a week before the start of this season after new owners arrived at Molineux. His managerial career has also seen him take charge of Watford, Swansea and Millwall.

MEET THE REF: Andy Woolmer

The Northamptonshire official takes charge of his third PNE game this season, having been in the middle for the matches against Hartlepool and Birmingham. But this will be the first time he has refereed Rotherham in 2016/17. The formation of Select Group 2 list of referees in the Championship means some officials will become familiar faces this season. Mr Woolmer’s last assignment was Leeds’ League Cup win over Norwich on October 25.
