Joe Mason receives his paxsport Goalkeeper of the Month Award
Fri 6th February 2026 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
FC St Helens Goalkeeper Joe Mason was presented with his Premier Division paxsport Goalkeeper of the Month award for November 2025 at the clubs' recent home game with City of Liverpool. League Director Martin Fallon took a trip to the SMS Pro Soccer Park and he is pictured presenting Joe with his award prior to the game that they won 1-0.
Its the third time Joe has won this award, winning it for FC St Helens in October 2022 and August 2023.
Joe began his career at Premier League Champions Liverpool, spending eight years at the club before joining Burscough. Ahead of the 2022/23 season, he moved to FC St Helens and has remained there since, approaching 150 appearances for them despite still being just 20 years old. He has also made appearances in the Northern Premier League for Macclesfield, Bootle and Widnes when their regular goalkeepers were unavailable or injured.
The first game in November for Joe came at Cheadle Town winning 3-0. It sounds routine but Joe was instrumental in keeping a clean sheet in this game, with two vital stops in the first half. He was also aware late on in the game as he again denied Cheadle a goal.
Next up was league leaders Padiham, with two early goals seeing the game end 1-1. Joe was alert late in the first half to cut out a Storks attack to help preserve a vital point.
The third game saw a trip to Glossop North End, with the home side piling on the pressure from the start. Joe made two vital stops early on but was powerless to prevent Glossop's opener on 19 minutes. The Stripes levelled, with Joe keeping his side level on 66 minutes with a superb save from a Djalo strike. That save took on even more importance as the game progressed, with St Helens scoring twice in the last minute to take all three points in a 3-1 win.
Barnoldswick away was next, with St Helens bossing matters before conceding a penalty on 18 minutes. Joe stood tall and saved the penalty to keep the game goalless, with his side soon taking the lead. Joe pulled off a fine stop before the break, tipping wide a goalbound effort, and made another low save at the start of the second half. He could do nothing to prevent Barlick's equaliser, a header at the back post, with the game ending 1-1.
The final game saw Litherland REMYCA visit, with FC St Helens running out 1-0 winners, giving Joe his second clean sheet of the month. He made two key stops early on as Litherland started well, and marshalled his side late on as the visitors pressed for an equaliser.
Five games in the month for Joe, with two clean sheets and just three goals conceded.
Congratulations to Joe on his Award!
