After 20 seasons, referee Bill Leavy is retiring from on-field officiating and will become a supervisor of officiating.

According to FootballZebras.com, Leavy will replace Johnny Grier as the northeastern regional supervisor of officiating.

Leavy’s replacement has not be released, though the league’s roster of referees is expected to be released later this month for the 2015 season.

Leavy worked 16 playoff games and two Super Bowls during his career. He was a back judge for Super Bowl XXXIV between the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans and headed up the officiating crew for Super Bowl XL between the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers.
