About Thomas Kirk

Thomas Kirk is an English football referee. He made his Premier League debut on 3 December 2025. Kirk is one of the newer officials to step into Premier League appointments. He is part of the current Premier League officiating pool and is regularly relevant for pre-match analysis, appointment previews and VAR-focused discussion.

In the 2025/26 Premier League season, Kirk has officiated 4 league matches, averaging 24.00 fouls, 0.25 penalties, 3.25 yellow cards and 0.75 red cards per game. Those numbers point to a strict and card-heavy profile, with a high foul count and frequent stoppages, and one of the higher red-card rates in the league sample. For The VAR Verdict, that statistical snapshot helps readers understand the disciplinary threshold and general tone he has shown this season.
