Taught football at the Fairview Open Bible Church in Jamaica, Mattis originally played as a striker but switched to goalkeeper at age 14 as his team was without someone who could play in goal.[1]
Involved with a number of Trinidadian clubs, Mattis made two penalty saves in the 2014 First Citizens Cup for San Juan Jabloteh, knocking out Defence Force from the tournament.[3] Also, Mattis made another two penalty stops for the same club in the 2014 Trinidad and Tobago Classic final.[4]
After retirement, the Jamaican wants to be a coach.[1]
Was called up to the Jamaica national football team in 2004 in what he describes as the apotheosis of his career.[1]
Having one son, Mattis sees him as his inspiration to play football.[1]
