Steeton Goalkeeper Bradley Emmerson was presented with his First Division North paxsport Goalkeeper of the Month award for November 2025 at one of the clubs' recent home games. League Discipline Officer Craig Buxton took a trip to Marley Stadium and he is pictured presenting Bradley with his award prior to the game.

This is the second time that he has won this award for Steeton having picked in up in December 2024, and the fourth time a Steeton keeper has won it.

Emmerson played largely in the Northern Counties East League with Albion Sports and Eccleshill United before switching to the NWCFL in 2021/22 when he joined Campion. He remained with the club when they were laterally moved to the NCEL the following season, helping the Manningham based outfit to a famous double in 2022/23 in which they won the NCEL First Division and the West Riding County Cup. He moved to Steeton in October 2024 after an injury to James Catlow, and has gone on to make 39 appearances for the club since his arrival.

November started with a trip to AFC Blackpool, with Emmerson keeping his side in the game on 34 minutes when he tipped a goalbound effort onto the crossbar. He made another vital stop at the start of the second half from a header, but was powerless to stop AFC Blackpool taking the lead with another header minutes later. The game finished 1-0 to the Mechanics.

Next was a home game against Daisy Hill at Marley Stadium, with Emmerson again making a key stop on 24 minutes when he denied Ntumba Massanka with a a one-on-one. Towards the end of the half he twice denied Liam Sheppard, with Daisy Hill opening the scoring at the start of the second half. Steeton grabbed a point with an equaliser five minutes from time.

The third game was a trip to Squires Gate with the home side taking an early lead. It should have been two at the start of the second half but for a superb save on his line by Emmerson, and he was rewarded just after the hour as Steeton equalised. Gate grabbed a late winner with a goalline scramble with the game ending 2-1.

The final game for Steeton was a midweek trip to MSB Woolton. Steeton led 1-0 from a 39th minute goal from Lewis Gartland, but Emmerson had little to do in this game. That is until the 89th minute when Woolton found themselves through on goal, with Emmerson making a superb stop, diverting a goalbound effort onto the crossbar before clearing to keep his clean sheet.

Four games played, four goals conceded with a fourth clean sheet of the season kept.

Well done Brad!
