Mathew Anthony Hudson (born 29 July 1998) is an English[3] professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League Two club Oldham Athletic. He started his career at Preston North End in 2015, and has had loan spells at Bury and Bamber Bridge.

Early life

[edit]

Hudson was born in Southport.[4]

Career

[edit]

Having come through the club's academy,[4] Hudson first appeared on the bench for Preston North End in early 2015 in an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Sheffield United,[5] and made his professional debut aged 17 as a replacement for future England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford who was sent off in the 30th minute of a 1–0 away defeat at Leeds United on 20 December 2015.[6] Leeds scored the only goal of the game through an Alan Browne own goal in the 46th minute, while Pickford's red card was later rescinded.[6][7] Hudson signed his first professional contract in January 2016, with the deal lasting 18 months and having the option for a further year.[8] He won Preston's scholar of the year award for the 2015–16 season.[9]

He did not make a first-team appearance during the 2016–17 or 2017–18 seasons,[10] but agreed a new two-year deal with the club in June 2018,[11] and joined League Two side Bury on loan until January the following month.[12][13] He made his debut for the club on 4 September 2020 in a defeat away to Rochdale in the EFL Trophy,[14] and made a total of four appearances for Bury, all of which coming in the EFL Trophy.[10]

With Hudson contract set to expire in summer 2020, it was extended by two years in June 2020.[4] On 23 October 2020, he joined Bamber Bridge on loan alongside teammate Adam O'Reilly, until 28 November 2020.[15][16] He made his debut for the club the following day in a 2–1 defeat at home to Bamber Bridge.[17] Hudson was released at the end of his contract in June 2022.[18]

Oldham Athletic

[edit]

In December 2022, Hudson joined National League club Oldham Athletic following a spell with Buxton.[19]

On 20 June 2025, after Oldham were promoted to League Two, the club announced the player had signed a new three-year deal.[20] An impressive first season back in the Football League saw Hudson named in the League Two Team of the Season for the 2025–26 season.[21]
