Christophe Ridley is a rising star in the world of refereeing. A former Leicester Tigers academy player, his playing career was cut short due to injury, leading him to pursue officiating at a young age. Ridley quickly climbed the ranks, earning a reputation for his clear communication and strong game management.

Since making his Premiership Rugby debut in 2018, he has become one of England's most promising referees. His ability to manage the breakdown effectively and his emphasis on quick ball movement make him well-suited for fast-paced international contests.

Ridley has also been involved in European club competitions and Test matches, gaining vital experience in high-pressure situations. 

Fun fact: He sent a World Cup winner to the sin bin on his Premiership debut
