JOE POXON SIGNS FOR THE BLUES

Frickley Athletic Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of forward Joe Poxon.

The forward arrives to the club from fellow NCEL Premier Division side Albion Sports where he has been since the start of the 26/27 season.

Joe came through Ossett United’s Emerging Talent Squad, earning a move into the first team in March 2026. Ossett manager James Walshaw praised his quality and attitude, saying the striker had earned his opportunity through his performances in youth matches and in training. Joe went on to feature for Ossett in the Northern Premier League East Division, coming off the bench in wins against Consett and Garforth Town. During his time he scored a couple of goals for the side.

He then moved to NCEL Premiership side Albion Sports this season, where he has scored a few goals. Frickley supporters may already recognise the name Joe Poxon. The young striker scored a stoppage-time winner against The Blues in September.

Welcome to The Blues, Joe!
