Mattson, originally from Chiltern in the Ovens & King Football League, started his VFL career at North Melbourne.[1][2]
At North Melbourne he played only at reserves level, then was traded to Richmond for Bill Nettlefold and made seven senior appearances for his new club in the 1976 season.[1][3][4]
This was followed by a season with Essendon in 1977, when he played one league game, which was a draw with Richmond at Waverley Park.[4] He came on as a reserve in that game, which is best remembered for Tim Watson making his debut, aged just 15.[5]
In 1978 he continued his career in Sydney, with Newtown.[6] and represented NSW at the 1978 Country Football Championships in Wagga Wagga.[7]
