Referee Howard Webb 'returns to South Yorkshire Police'

Webb 'returns to police force'

Premier League referee Howard Webb has reportedly returned to the South Yorkshire Police Force.

The 42-year-old, who took a five-year sabbatical from the force, will continue his duties as a FIFA-listed referee.

It is understood that the match official, who returned to the police in April, is required to work 10 hours a week, but the force allow his work to fit around his refereeing schedule, according to the Daily Mail.

Arguably, Webb's biggest feat in his officiating career came when he took charge of the 2010 World Cup final.
