Club career


Mason began her career in Watford's youth teams. After moving on to Chelsea, she appeared 23 times for the club's development team, scoring six goals.[3] Nineteen-year-old Mason returned to Watford in April 2015, after four years with Chelsea.[4] In 2015 she was Watford's top-goalscorer with five goals and won the club's Goal of the Season award for a strike against Aston Villa.[5] She scored three goals in 14 appearances in the 2016 season, then signed for Millwall Lionesses in February 2017.[6]

After spending the FA WSL Spring Series and 2017–18 season with Millwall Lionesses, Mason signed a full-time professional contract with Yeovil Town in August 2018.[7][8]

At Yeovil Town Mason converted to playing as a defender,[9] but the club finished a distant last in the 2018–19 FA WSL after a series of hurtful on-field drubbings and a 10-point penalty imposed for insolvency. Yeovil were then kicked out of the top two Leagues when The FA rejected their purported business plan.[10]

Mason then joined new FA Women's Championship club London City Lionesses, where she was appointed club captain.[9] However, after being released by the club in 2021, she signed for Lewes on 28 July.[11]


International career


Mason was eligible to represent England, Gibraltar and Northern Ireland at international level.[12] She received her first international callup for Gibraltar in February 2022.[13] In August 2022 she was called up to the Northern Ireland after switching her international allegiance from Gibraltar.[14]
