Career
He moved to Wolverhampton, West Midlands, at a young age, and now lives in Hounslow, Greater London. He has a full-time occupation in the Metropolitan Police in London. Singh is also an ambassador for the Football Association.
Singh took up refereeing in 1985, after taking his exam in order to improve his frequent outings as club linesman for the youth team he managed.
He progressed through lower leagues in the Wolverhampton area and then into the Conference South regionally, before being appointed as a Football League assistant referee in 1999. Whilst still a Conference referee, he was put in charge of an FA Vase semi-final first leg tie, between Oadby Town and Brigg Town on 22 March 2003, and, shortly before his elevation to Football League referee for the 2004-2005 season, he was appointed to the middle for the Football Conference Playoff semi-final first leg between Aldershot Town and Hereford United on 29 April 2004.
His first match after his promotion was the Football League Two encounter between Bristol Rovers and Bury at the Memorial Stadium on 10 August 2004, in which he sent off Colin Woodthorpe of Bury in the 65th minute. His final match before retirement was on 1 May 2010, refereeing a League One game between Yeovil Town versus Oldham Athletic at Huish Park in Yeovil.
Before the match he was unusually signing autographs and having photos taken with fans.
He has refereed at international level taking charge of a friendly game between China and United Arab Emirates in October 2011. As a role model, The FA acknowledged the importance of his visibility.
