“I have had the pleasure leading Mason Wheatcroft for the duration of the 2024/25 season, and from the very first moment I met him, I was struck by his exceptional character. He made an immediate great impression—confident, polite, and clearly dedicated to his football. Mason is not only a skilled footballer but also a natural leader on the field. His leadership qualities shine through in the way he conducts himself and interacts with his teammates. He consistently demands the best from those around him, encouraging and motivating them to perform at their highest level. More importantly, he leads by example—both in terms of his attitude and his work ethic. A popular figure within the squad, Mason’s positivity and professionalism have made him a valued member of the team. He plays an integral role in ensuring that team dynamics remain strong and that everyone is pushing in the same direction. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the pitch, Mason fosters an environment of unity and collaboration. On the field, Mason is a versatile player who adapts seamlessly to different positions. While he started the 2024/25 season in defense, his ability to transition into midfield later in the season demonstrated his tactical understanding and commitment to the team’s success. Wherever he plays, he gives 100%, always doing a fantastic job to support the team. In addition to his overall skill, Mason is a proficient free-kick taker, delivering several key set-piece opportunities throughout the season. His technical abilities, combined with his leadership and determination, make him one of the standout players in the squad. For all these reasons, it was no surprise that Mason was named my Manager’s Player of the Year. His contribution to the team, both on and off the pitch, has been invaluable, and I have no doubt that he will continue to achieve great things in his football career. I highly recommend Mason Wheatcroft as a player and as an individual who brings the best out of those around him.”
“Mason is a hardworking and reliable individual who consistently brings a positive attitude to the team. They’re always up for a challenge and tackle tasks with enthusiasm and determination. A real asset to any workplace. Sincerely, Billy Hilton”
