Gillet will be the Video Assistant Referee when Watford host West Ham on Sunday morning (AEST). 

The 32-year-old started officiating A-League matches in the 2010-11 season, going on to referee five A-League Grand Finals. 

Gillet has previously presided over matches in the J-League, the Indian Super League, the Chinese Super League as well as the Asian Champions League. 

At the start of this year it was announced that Gillett would head to England and "join the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) Select Group 2 for season 2019-20 being the group who referee in the English Football League Championship."

Gillet has refereed in the Championship, but this Sunday will be his first step into the Premier League.
