A Norfolk referee is set to officiate at the highest level of his career so far as he takes on a Paralympics role.
Tom Nield, who referees conference league football, will be a national technical official for the cerebral palsy seven-a-side football during the Games.
He will referee his first match at the Riverbank Arena in the Olympic Park on Saturday.
The 21-year-old from Cromer, who teaches refereeing with the Norfolk FA, said he 'cannot put into words' his excitement.
He said: 'The whole thing is amazing, it's unbelievable. The vibe and feeling in the Olympic Park is already really good.'
