Leeds United manager, Don Revie, signed Mason, aged 31, during the 1961–62 season for £10,000 as a experienced defender who was needed during a troubled season for Leeds when they were fighting relegation to the Third Division. He appeared in the last eleven games of the season and made a further 22 appearances in the next before Grenville Hair regained the left back spot. He joined Scunthorpe United for the 1963–64 season and joined Chesterfield for the following season.
