Joe White receives his Player of the Month Award
Mon 24th February 2025 | Ashton Athletic | By Ben Wilkinson
Joe White of Ashton Athletic was recently presented with the Player of the Month award for the First Division North for January 2025.
League Media Officer Ben Wilkinson attended the Yellows' 1-0 home win over Holker Old Boys to present Joe with the award before kick off at Brocstedes Park.
Centre half Joe came through the ranks at Bolton Wanderers, making four appearances for The Trotters in League One in 2019/20. After his release, he played once for Lower Breck but has spent the last four seasons at Ashton Athletic, although spending time at FC United of Manchester and Marine on dual registration forms in the last two seasons.
January didn't get off to the best start for Joe, rested on the bench as his team fell four goals behind to Padiham in the Lancashire Challenge Trophy. He steadied the ship upon his introduction though and marshalled his defence through the rest of the game.
Next up was a trip to Holker Old Boys for Ashton. Despite losing 3-2, Joe was excellent as he kept his side in the game with numerous tackles. He even got an assist for Emmanuel Ujahchuku in stoppage time. His performance saw him pick up Man of the Match.
The final game was another defeat for Ashton as they lost 4-2 to Thornton Cleveleys. Again Joe kept his side in the game, and came close to a goal himself as he saw a header hit the bar. For the second game running, his performance saw him pick up Man of the Match.
Congratulations to Joe on a fine month.
