Guiseley AFC volunteer Adam Bridson has won the Vanarama National League North Volunteer of the Month award for January.

He was presented with his award prior to Guiseley’s home game against Darlington last Saturday.

Bridson is an invaluable member of the club’s media team and he goes above and beyond on a daily basis.

Not only does he organise all of the club’s social media accounts and website content but this season he has also taken on the job of managing the production of the club’s match day programme, pulling together articles provided by various other volunteers and contributors.

Bridson, from Yeadon, is a lifelong Guiseley supporter and hasn’t missed a game for more than 10 years, either while stewarding at home fixtures or providing Twitter updates and the occasional match report at away games.

Football secretary and general manager James Pickles said: “I am delighted that Adam’s efforts have been recognised by the National League. Adam really does go the extra mile to make sure the club gets as much publicity as possible via social media and it’s great that he gets his moment in the limelight.”

Speaking about the award, Bridson said: “I am beyond proud to be chosen as Volunteer of the Month for the Vanarama National League North.

“Non league is nothing without the volunteers who show immense dedication to their clubs up and down the country.

“We have plenty of those here at Guiseley AFC, including photographers, ground staff, matchday staff and the media team.

“It is really special to be recognised by the league like this and I would like to thank the club for the opportunities given to me over the years.”
