Joe Mason (footballer, born 1991)

Mason began his career as a youth player with home-town club Plymouth Argyle at the age of 10. He was a regular scorer for the youth team and made the step up to reserve team football with similar ease, playing his part as the club won the Football Combination in 2009, with Mason as the club's top goalscorer.[http://www.pafc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10364~47542,00.html "Player profile"].

On 11 November 2013, a loan deal was agreed with Football League Championship side Bolton Wanderers until 5 January 2014. However, the following day it was announced that Cardiff manager Malky Mackay had a change of heart over the deal and the striker stayed in South Wales, despite having travelled up to Bolton to train with them on the previous day.{{cite news|title=Bolton Wanderers sign highly rated Cardiff City striker Joe Mason on loan|url=http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/wanderersnews/10801082.Bolton_Wanderers_sign_highly_rated_Cardiff_City_striker_Joe_Mason_on_loan/|access-date=11 November 2013|newspaper=The Bolton News|date=11 November 2013}}{{cite news|title=Cardiff City pull the plug on Mason loan after less than 24 hours|url=http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/wanderersnews/10802295._/?|access-date=12 November 2013|newspaper=The Bolton News|date=12 November 2013}}

A move to Bolton was finally completed on 27 November 2013 once Cardiff's injury situation had cleared up, and this allowed Mason to link up with Wanderers until the New Year on a similar arrangement to that of teammate Kevin McNaughton.{{cite news|title=Bolton Wanderers finally sign loan deal with Cardiff City striker Joe Mason|url=http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wanderers/wanderersnews/10838272._/?|access-date=27 November 2013|newspaper=The Bolton News|date=27 November 2013}}

He made his Bolton debut on 30 November 2013 in an away defeat against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium as a substitute for Neil Danns. His first start and goal came a week later as he opened the scoring for Wanderers in a 3–0 win over Doncaster Rovers at the Reebok Stadium.

On 20 February 2014, Mason re-joined Bolton Wanderers on a two-month loan,{{Cite web |title=Mason re-joins on loan |url=http://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/article/mason-re-joins-on-loan-20214-1371529.aspx |work=Bolton Wanderers FC |date=20 February 2014 |access-date=20 February 2014 |archive-date=26 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226151700/http://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/article/mason-re-joins-on-loan-20214-1371529.aspx |url-status=dead }} but returned on 11 August 2014 for a full season-long loan.{{cite news|title=Bolton sign Cardiff striker Joe Mason for third loan spell|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28739670|access-date=11 August 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=11 August 2014}} On 16 September 2014, Mason scored a second half hat-trick to earn Bolton their first win of the season at home to Rotherham United. This was the first hat-trick scored by a Bolton player in a competitive match since Fredi Bobic against Ipswich in 2002. On 21 January 2015 his loan was terminated by mutual agreement.

Following his return from injury, Mason became a key part in new Cardiff boss, Russell Slade's plans towards the end of the 2014–15 season. The next season, Mason was rewarded the number 10 shirt and started the first 17 games of the season, with a return of 5 goals. During October, Cardiff suffered a barren run of goals scoring only 2, one where Mason scored the opener in a 1–1 with Brighton & Hove Albion. This resulted in Mason being dropped and new signing Tony Watt taking his place.

On 28 January 2016, Mason signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with fellow Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.{{Cite news |title=Joe Mason: Wolverhampton Wanderers sign Cardiff City striker|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35420471|publisher=BBC Sport |date=28 January 2016}} He made his debut for Wolverhampton Wanderers on 2 February 2016 against Bolton, in a 2–2 draw at Molineux, in which he scored after three minutes of the game.{{Cite news |title=Wolves 2–2 Bolton|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35406519|publisher=BBC Sport|date=2 February 2016}}

The following season saw him score four further goals (including against Midlands rivals Birmingham and Aston Villa), to add to the three for Wolves in the second half of the previous campaign. However, after another new head coach arrived -–the fourth different one at Wolves within his short spell – Mason found himself out of his plans. On 23 August 2017, he was sent on loan to fellow Championship side Burton Albion until January 2018.{{cite news|title=Joe Mason: Burton Albion sign Wolves striker on loan until January|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41025510|publisher=BBC Sport|date=23 August 2017}} He scored on his debut for Burton in a 1–1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday on 26 August 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40983496|title=Burton 1–1 Sheff Wed|publisher=BBC|date=26 August 2017 |access-date=29 August 2017}}

After returning from his spell at Burton, he moved again on loan, this time to Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids on 20 February 2018 until the end of the 2018 MLS season.{{cite news|title=Colorado Rapids acquire striker Joe Mason on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC|url=https://www.coloradorapids.com/post/2018/02/20/colorado-rapids-acquire-striker-joe-mason-loan-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc|publisher=Colorado Rapids|date=20 February 2018}} On 12 July 2018, it was announced that Mason would end his planned season-long loan early and return to Wolverhampton.{{cite news|title=Colorado Rapids forward Joe Mason returns to Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|url=https://www.coloradorapids.com/post/2018/07/12/colorado-rapids-forward-joe-mason-returns-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc|publisher=Colorado Rapids|date=12 July 2018}}

As the 2018–19 season began in England, Mason still remained outside of the first team plans at Wolves, who had by now been promoted to the Premier League. On 31 August 2018, he was loaned out to League One Portsmouth until January in a move which saw him again link up with Kenny Jackett who had signed him at Wolves.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45375899|title=Joe Mason: Portsmouth sign Wolves forward on loan|date=31 August 2018|publisher=BBC Sport}} However, he made just a single appearance in the league for Pompey, appearing as a late substitute against Wycombe Wanderers.{{Cite web|url=https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/portsmouth-loanee-returns-to-wolves-1-8757086|title=Portsmouth loanee returns to Wolves|publisher=Portsmouth F.C.|date=12 January 2019}} On the final day of the January 2019 transfer window, his contract with Wolves was terminated by mutual agreement to allow Mason to find a new permanent club.{{Cite web|url=https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/club/20190131-iorfa-one-of-five-to-depart/|title=Iorfa one of five to depart|publisher=Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C|date=31 January 2019}}
