- **The 21-year-old wants to step up next season**
- **Terry featured 41 times for the National League side this season**

West Ham United have a number of youngsters out on-loan this season. For most of them, it is about continuing to build on experience in the hopes of breaking the mould and into the Hammers first-team. For one player, it has been more successful than most for him personally.

[Goalkeeper Mason Terry](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/22/west-ham-loan-watch-gamweek-33/) may not have been able to keep Braintree Town in the National League but he did get his plaudits, winning Supporters Player of the Season. Each season the 21-year-old has stepped up in the football pyramid and did so this year after a spell at Hornchurch the year prior.

This season, the shot stopper has appeared 41 times for Braintree being a shining light in a difficult season for the team. Terry told [West Ham’s official website](https://www.whufc.com/en/news/terry-or-i-cant-wait-for-whats-next-after-successful-braintree-spell) that he is proud of the effort’s he has mad so far, and excited for what’s next.

*“Reflecting on my season, it’s been an unbelievable experience playing in the National League. I’ve definitely learnt a lot during my spell at Braintree. I would like to thank the gaffer, the staff, the players and the fans who welcomed me in from day one.*

*“Winning three Supporters’ Player of the Season awards in a row is a very proud achievement. This gives me the motivation to continue to succeed and the appetite to achieve more awards like this.*

*“Having two successful loans at Concord Rangers and Hornchurch prior to my move to Braintree this season, I had already played around 90 senior games, so I had learnt a lot from those two seasons.*

*“This season, I’ve learnt even more, especially playing at some of the bigger teams away from home in large hostile environments. The physical and mental toughness of games twice a week, travelling midweek up and down the country – these are the scenarios that people think are easy until you face them.*

## Shot stopper Terry aiming for another step up

If Terry can’t break into the [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) team, he wants to make another step up. Having player in the National League South and National League, the 21-year-old wants to at least test his skills in the EFL next season.

*“Going up a division across each of my three loans has taken my experience to another level, building a great foundation for myself. Now, having over 130 men’s games under my belt, I am ready to go into the Football League and continue to succeed.*

*“I am very excited for what the summer has in store for me. I want to continue learning on and off the pitch and improve my different attributes that will help me with my performances in games.”*
