Mason, born in Aberdare, grew up playing in the Cynon Valley was a product of Mountain Ash RFC.[2] A fullback, he appeared in 216 senior games for Pontypridd RFC and was a prolific goal kicker for the club, starting from his debut season in 1986 in which he scored 233 points.[3] He returned to Mountain Ash in 1993.[4]
It was from Pontypridd that Mason came into the Wales team in 1988, called up from holiday in Corfu as a replacement player for the tour of New Zealand.
