Josh Briggs receives his January 2025 Player of the Month Award
Tue 4th March 2025 | League Awards | By Martin Fallon
Padiham Forward Josh Briggs was recently presented with his Premier Division Player of the Month winner for January 2025.
League Director xxxxxxxxxxxxxx recently took a trip to Padiham for their game at home to xxxxxxxx, and he is pictured presenting Josh with his award prior to the game.
Remarkably Josh is the first Storks player to win this award since Keiran Fletcher who won it in January 2011. Josh played much of his football in the West Lancashire League with Euxton Villa and Hurst Green, before moving up to the NWCFL with Euxton Villa when they got promoted. He has spent the last two seasons at Euxton before moving to Padiham in the summer for his first taste of Premier Division action.
He has been a virtual ever present this season, and January has been his best month.
His first game of January saw his team win 3-1 at AFC Liverpool, Josh getting the third goal of the game. Next came a 4-0 win over Ashton Athletic in the Lancashire Challenge Trophy, with Josh getting the third goal of the game. His third game came at home to FC Isle of Man, Josh levelling for Padiham before they won 2-1. Josh picked up Man of the Match in this game. His fourth was a 2-0 win at home to Chadderton, Josh opening the scoring for Padiham.
Josh's best performance of the month came in the game at Pilkington. He opened the scoring in this game early on, and with Padiham hanging onto a 2-1 lead, added his second of the game on the hour to ease the pressure. His performance warranted a second Man of the Match in the month.
The final game of the month came in the Macron Cup at Longridge Town. Josh again opened the scoring in this game - the eighth consecutive game he had found the net * - although Longridge hit back with the game ending 1-1. In the penalty shoot out, Josh also scored from the spot, helping his side to a 4-2 shoot-out win.
A superb month for Josh, who scored in all six games in the month, taking his tally to 18 goals in his last 22 games.
Congratulations to Josh!
* Note Josh went on to make it nine successive games scoring as he found the net in Padiham's opening game in February. A fine and rather rare achievement!
