She led in a time it felt uncomfortable. Being a first occurs because one stands on the shoulders of unknown giants who came before. But being the face is uncomfortable but inspiring for others. Thank you, Sian. It’s bigger than you will ever know but the impact can be seen.

Assistant referee Sian Massey-Ellis MBE has announced her retirement from officiating after a remarkable career, to take up the role of Senior Manager - Women Referees with The FA.

Since reaching the Premier League in 2010, at the time only the second female to ever do so, Massey-Ellis has officiated on over 150 top-flight matches. Alongside a plethora of domestic milestones, including five Women's FA Cup finals and becoming the first female appointed to both the FA Community Shield and Men’s FA Cup final, she also has an impressive international resume. She has been involved in three UEFA Women’s Champions League finals, four UEFA Women's EUROs, two FIFA Women’s World Cups and she was also the first English woman appointed to a men's European fixture.

Sian Massey-Ellis, who has been one of English football's best assistant refs, announces her retirement from officiating to take up a role with The FA as Senior Manager - Women Referees. “From standing beneath the Premier League sign before my very first match to officiating at FIFA World Cups, UEFA European Championships, Champions League finals and across domestic fixtures and competitions in England, football has taken me on a journey beyond anything I could ever have imagined," Massey-Ellis says via @prorefofficial.

“Throughout my career, football has challenged me, tested my resilience and pushed me to become a better professional and person. If my journey has helped change perceptions, open doors or inspire even one young person to believe they belong in the game, then I will consider that one of my greatest achievements. To the young girl who simply loved refereeing and dreamed of reaching the very top - we did it. Thank you, football."
