Club career

Mason began his first grade career in 1951. That year, Mason won his first premiership with Souths as they defeated Manly 42-14 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Mason missed out playing in the following year's grand final against Western Suburbs due to injury. He was a member of the Souths sides which won the premiership in 1953 and 1954, defeating St George and Newtown respectively. Mason played on with Souths for 3 more years, but was not a member of the 1955 premiership winning side which defeated Newtown 12-11.[2]

Later life

Mason coached the third grade South Sydney side from 1958 to 1965, and guided them to a premiership in 1963. He was made a life member of the club in 1965, and served as a committee member. Mason later became director of the South Sydney leagues club for seven years.[3]
