Mathews was a back pocket defender, but started as a forward and topped North Melbourne's goal-kicking in the 1930 VFL season, with 29 goals. He switched clubs in 1935, joining Essendon, but would only make two appearances for the club.[2] After leaving Essendon he played for La Mascotte.[3]

Mathews later served in the Royal Australian Air Force during the later part of World War II.[4]
