Join us at Avey Fest 2025 for a celebration of grassroots football, community spirit, and everything that is BPA. Together, let’s make this an unforgettable event for everyone involved.

Bradford (Park Avenue) are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Cam Mason on a deal until the end of the season.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the BPA Development Fund for their help in getting this signing over the line. If you’d like to make a donation, get in touch with DF Chairman Dave Stordy on 01274 512989.

Cam, 28, joins the Club after a spell with Chester FC, where he started the first five matches of the season before an injury sustained during a victory over Scarborough led to an extended period on the side-lines. Earlier in the campaign, he also spent time on loan with Matlock Town.

Originally from Oldham, Cam began his career at Chesterfield, completing his scholarship before moving to Curzon Ashton in 2014. He enjoyed a successful seven-year stint with the Nash, making over 150 appearances. In the summer of 2021, he signed for Southport before moving to Guiseley in January 2023 for an undisclosed fee.

Last season, Cam returned to Curzon Ashton and made 35 appearances, playing a pivotal role in their historic run to the National League North Play-Offs for the first time.

Goalkeeper Coach Karl Lenaghan had this to say on the appointment.

“The Gaffa, Macca, and myself are always looking to strengthen the squad, constantly scouting for players who can add real value.

“When Cam became available, it was an easy decision to bring him in. At just 28 years old, he already boasts a wealth of experience at both the Conference North and National League levels.

“His experience will be invaluable as we continue our push up the league, and we’re confident he’ll play a significant role in helping us achieve our goals.”
